🇺🇸 SEC Chair: Tokenization Is Inevitable — Regulators Preparing Exceptions

The new SEC Chairman, Paul Atkins, has signaled a major shift in regulatory tone, stating that the agency is ready to adapt its rules to support financial innovation — including the tokenization of assets.

📣 Direct quote: “If something can be tokenized — it will be.”
The SEC is considering a special “innovation exception” that could accelerate the launch of tokenized stocks, bonds, and retirement products.

📌 The announcement came shortly after the approval of three key crypto-related bills:

— GENIUS Act: Declares stablecoins not to be securities, shifting regulation to the banking sector
— CLARITY Act: Reallocates oversight powers between the SEC and CFTC
— Anti-CBDC Act: Aims to block the Federal Reserve from launching a digital dollar

📊 Market & Political Reaction: — The Ethereum/DeFi community sees this as a major win
— Senator Elizabeth Warren opposes the reforms, calling them a threat to consumer protection

🚨 Trump is expected to sign the GENIUS Act tonight at 9:30 PM MSK.
If the SEC proceeds with these regulatory exceptions, the U.S. could reestablish itself as a global leader in crypto innovation.
