According to Odaily Planet Daily, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul S. Atkins stated at the OECD Roundtable on Global Financial Markets that the SEC will modernize securities regulation through Project Crypto, clarifying the securities status of crypto assets and providing a clear regulatory framework for on-chain financing, trading, staking, and lending. He emphasized that most crypto tokens are not securities and that regulation will be based on the principle of minimal intervention to protect investors while encouraging innovation and competition.

Atkins also noted that artificial intelligence (AI) will be combined with blockchain to promote "intelligent agent finance," enabling automated trading, capital allocation, and risk management, improving market efficiency and reducing costs. He called for international cooperation, drawing on the experience of the EU's MiCA initiative, to jointly advance digital asset regulation and financial innovation. The SEC's goal is to establish a world-leading crypto and AI financial ecosystem in the United States, creating more opportunities for investors and businesses.
