The SEC chair's participation at the event affirms a friendlier regulatory climate, with regulators stepping into industry forums to address concerns around compliance rather than an enforcement approach.
In the past week, the acting head of the enforcement division for SEC indicated focus on "quality over quantity" in bringing cases, the first signal of the regulator’s priorities days after the resignation of the unit’s chief.

The guidance names payment stablecoins, digital collectibles and digital commodities as nonsecurities. It also clarifies how federal securities laws apply to protocol mining, staking and crypto airdrops.
The crypto industry has long sought greater clarity on whether particular assets are considered securities, which typically require more regulatory disclosures than commodities.
The SEC, in its guidance, explained that a nonsecurity crypto asset may stop being an investment contract under securities laws when an issuer has either fulfilled or failed its representations or promises.
The SEC head also said the regulator would soon issue a proposed rule teeing up a safe harbor program for startups to launch crypto companies.
