SEC changes its tune on crypto.
This morning over coffee, I read something that honestly felt like a small earthquake in our world: the SEC boss, Paul Atkins, said the commission will stop kicking down doors and instead warn companies about minor violations before taking action. For years, the SEC was like the grumpy neighbor calling the cops at the first loud song — now, enfin, they’re talking about dialogue.
But here’s the juiciest part: Atkins also declared that most tokens are not securities. 🤯 That’s a total shift from the old narrative. If this really becomes the official stance, the endless “is $ETH a security?” debates might finally fade into the past.
And wait for it — they also want new rules that allow investors to trade tokenized stocks and bonds 24/7, directly on the blockchain. Imagine buying Apple shares at 3am on a Sunday, with the same fluidity as trading $BTC. That’s not science fiction anymore, ça arrive.
Of course, the U.S. system moves slower than a French waiter in August, so I’m not popping champagne yet. But this change in tone is massive. It feels like the beginning of a new era where crypto and traditional finance stop fighting and start merging.
