The plan includes creating clear and simple rules for crypto distributions, custody, and trading in the U.S.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWhile the Commission staff works to finalize these regulations, the Commission and its staff will in the coming months consider using interpretative, exemptive, and other authorities to make sure that archaic rules and regulations do not smother innovation and entrepreneurship in America,\u201d Atkins added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>SEC sees Project Crypto as part of the efforts to not just bring financial markets on-chain, but also return all the crypto businesses pushed offshore during Gary Gensler\u2019s tenure as SEC chair.<\/p>\n<p>In recent months, under the Trump administration, the SEC has withdrawn lawsuits and ended several investigations that were pursued under Gensler\u2019s heavily criticized regulation-by-enforcement approach.
