SEC Chair: Teaming Up with CFTC to Drive Market Migration On-Chain On June 30, 2026, U.S. SEC Chair Paul S. Atkins (@SECPaulSAtkins) stated during a speech at The Economic Club of New York that over the past year, the SEC has been actively advancing former President Trump’s goal of making the U.S. the 'global cryptocurrency capital.' Through 'Project Crypto,' the agency is modernizing regulatory frameworks to support the market’s migration on-chain. Atkins emphasized that establishing clear rules for digital assets is not about giving the industry special treatment but is a necessary foundation for ensuring market functionality. He also revealed that the SEC and CFTC have signed a historic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at aligning key definitions and coordinating oversight, replacing the regulatory vacuum between the two agencies with fertile ground for innovation.
