Statement on SEC’s Release of Reg Crypto

“Regulation Crypto Assets is an important step toward the clear, fit-for-purpose rules digital asset markets in the United States have needed for years. We appreciate Chairman Atkins’ leadership and the work of the Commissioners and SEC staff to develop a tailored approach that supports innovation, capital formation, and investor protection.

Regulation and legislation go hand in hand, and the SEC’s work complements Congress’ efforts to establish a durable statutory framework through the Clarity Act. We look forward to engaging with the Commission on this proposal while continuing to work with Congress to deliver lasting regulatory clarity and ensure the United States leads the next generation of financial innovation.”
