SEC Chair Atkins: Accelerating Key Crypto Regulation Work Next Year
Paul Atkins, Chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), stated at the Blockchain Association policy summit that the SEC will take faster action on several crypto-related agendas next year, saying, "You haven't seen anything yet," and that the regulatory "seeds" planted this year will begin to "sprout and bear fruit" next year.
Atkins recently proposed a "token taxonomy" framework to clarify which crypto assets are considered securities and launched "Project Crypto" to update the SEC's regulatory rules in the digital asset space. He is also advocating for an "innovation exemption" to provide conditional, time-limited regulatory relief for crypto and fintech projects to reduce compliance costs and promote experimentation. He revealed that the exemption rule could be introduced as early as the end of January next year.
SEC Chair Atkins: Most Types of ICOs Are Not Securities and Will Not Be Under SEC Regulation
Atkins stated at the Blockchain Association's annual policy summit that many types of ICOs (originally ICOs) should be considered "non-securities transactions" and therefore not subject to SEC regulation. He emphasized that network tokens, digital collectibles, and utility tokens do not themselves constitute securities, and ICOs related to these categories should also not fall under SEC jurisdiction.
In the token classification framework proposed last month, Atkins categorized crypto tokens into four major types, with only "security tokens" falling under SEC regulation, while the other three types should be overseen by the more lenient CFTC. He stated, "Three types belong to the CFTC domain, and we will focus on security tokens."
The U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) today issued Interpretive Letter 1188, confirming that national banks can engage in permitted banking activities related to risk-free principal crypto asset trading. Such transactions involve banks acting as principals when trading crypto assets with one customer while offsetting transactions with another customer. Banks act as intermediaries, not holding crypto asset inventories, but rather functioning similarly to brokers acting as agents. As with any activity, national banks must conduct these activities in a safe and sound manner and comply with applicable laws.

Average Cost of U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETF Approaches $83,000

Circle Partners with Aleo to Launch USDCx Stablecoin with "Bank-Level Privacy"
Circle co-founder and CEO Jeremy Allaire announced that Circle has partnered with blockchain Aleo to launch a "privacy" version of its stablecoin, named USDCx. Aleo co-founder Howard Wu stated that USDCx will hide transaction histories to address the concerns of large institutional clients (such as banks) who do not want their balances and payment histories to be public.
The new token USDCx is not completely private; each transaction will include a "compliance record" that Circle can access when law enforcement or other agencies inquire about specific transactions. However, for public users viewing blockchain logs, these transactions will appear as incomprehensible "data blocks." Wu described it as "bank-level privacy, not pure privacy."

Octra Labs Announces $20 Million Public Token Sale at a $200 Million Valuation
The association behind the privacy public chain project Octra, Octra Labs, announced that it will launch a public token sale on December 18 on Sonar (an ICO platform founded by Echo and recently acquired by Coinbase). This sale aims to raise $20 million, corresponding to a fully diluted valuation (FDV) of $200 million, locking 10% of the token supply. The tokens will be sold at a fixed price subscription model, with all participants receiving tokens proportionally based on their investment amount, and any unsold portion will be burned.
Octra Labs stated that if subscription demand is strong, the sales allocation ratio may be increased. The tokens will be fully unlocked and distributed shortly after the sale ends, modeled after Ethereum's 2014 ICO.
