US SEC Chairman Paul Atkins outlined a clear timeline for advancing a formal rulemaking process to establish an innovation exemption for cryptocurrency firms. The initiative, expected to enter the rulemaking phase by late 2025 or early 2026, aims to create a defined regulatory pathway that supports experimentation while maintaining investor safeguards. Atkins emphasized that the exemption would focus on structured oversight, measurable compliance conditions, and transparent reporting obligations. The proposal seeks to reduce regulatory uncertainty for emerging crypto projects and encourage compliant growth within digital asset markets without lowering enforcement standards.
