🚨NEW: SEC Chair @SECPaulSAtkins is slated to speak at an @A1Policy event at 12:30 PM EST, where he’s expected to offer more detail on how the agency plans to implement the recommendations from the White House crypto report released yesterday. It’s unclear exactly what he might announce, but here are some of the report’s key immediate recommendations: 📌A safe harbor that gives early-stage token projects room to grow without triggering securities laws right away 📌Clear exemptions for airdrops and decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN), so they aren’t automatically treated as securities 📌Legal clarity for self-custody wallets, ensuring users can hold their own assets without extra regulatory hurdles 📌Support for tokenizing traditional assets like stocks and bonds — making them easier to trade on blockchain 📌Allowing transfer agents (the record-keepers for stocks) to use blockchain to track ownership and dividends more efficiently 📌Clear rules for how a token can start out as a security but later be treated like a commodity or utility once it becomes decentralized(Eleanor Terrett)
