SEC Chair Advances 'Project Crypto' with CFTC

SEC Chair Paul Atkins is pushing forward 'Project Crypto' in collaboration with the CFTC to establish a joint framework for classifying digital assets and introducing an 'innovation exemption' for on-chain tokenized securities. This marks a shift from enforcement to clear rulemaking, potentially unlocking institutional capital. Bitcoin is currently at around $77,586, with eyes on $80K if regulations ease.
