SEC Unveils 2 Crypto Trading Initiatives as Clarity Act Stalls in Congress
3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Aug 11
Summary
Friday’s SEC open meeting will launch a tailored offering regime for certain crypto-asset investment contracts, marking the agency’s next step toward standalone crypto rules.
A second initiative — an innovation exemption for trading digital versions of securities — is also due soon and could open the door to 24/7 blockchain-based trading of tokenized stocks.
The moves come as Congress stalls on the Clarity Act, pushing the regulator to advance market structure changes without waiting for a landmark digital-asset bill.
Together, the two initiatives could further accelerate the US crypto industry while potentially reshaping parts of the American stock market.
