WuShuo has learned that SEC Chairman Paul Atkins stated that the U.S. should continue advancing crypto regulatory reforms and urged Congress to pass the CLARITY Act as soon as possible. Even if the bill is not passed, the SEC will continue to push forward relevant policies under its existing authority. Atkins highlighted three key initiatives: promoting Regulation Crypto Assets to provide clearer rules for crypto project financing and investment contract termination conditions; updating transfer agent rules, which haven’t seen major adjustments in nearly 40 years, to accommodate tokenized securities; and establishing a new crypto asset custody framework, allowing investment advisors to self-custody crypto assets under certain conditions or use state-chartered trust companies. He stated that these measures will collectively form a regulatory framework for the issuance, trading, transfer, and custody of crypto assets. https://(wublock123.com)/news/sec-chair-atkins-crypto-asset-issuance-trading-custody-framework-68392
