Number Go Down and Other Schadenfreude - Remarks at ETHDenver
SEC Chairman Paul Atkins and Commissioner Hester Peirce discussed the agency's shift toward providing regulatory clarity for the crypto industry at ETHDenver. The SEC plans to introduce an innovation exemption for tokenized securities, collaborate with the CFTC on joint rulemaking, and focus on developing frameworks for custody, capital formation, and on-chain securities, while emphasizing that regulation should not be a barrier to innovation.
