🚀 CFTC and SEC Resolve Regulatory Dispute Over Crypto Market Oversight

According to BlockBeats, the acting chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Pham, announced at a joint roundtable meeting with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that the longstanding regulatory dispute between the two agencies over the crypto market has concluded. For years, the CFTC and SEC have been embroiled in a jurisdictional battle regarding the oversight of digital assets.
Former CFTC Chairman Rostin Behnam argued that most digital assets should be classified as commodities, falling under the CFTC's jurisdiction. In contrast, former SEC Chairman Gary Gensler maintained that the majority of cryptocurrencies are securities.
In Washington, lawmakers are advancing the Clarity Act, a legislative proposal aimed at establishing a comprehensive regulatory framework for the crypto industry. This includes legislation related to market structure, which may grant the CFTC broader regulatory authority over digital assets. The collaboration between the CFTC and its sister agency, the SEC, is crucial in this context.
Pham emphasized the importance of cooperation, stating, "There is no doubt that because both of our agencies regulate parts of the financial markets, our regulatory boundaries are not always clear or intuitive. This has sometimes led to unnecessary friction between the two agencies and avoidable confusion for market participants who rely on us."#CFTC #SEC #Crypto #Regulation #DigitalAssets #Commodities #Securities #ClarityAct #CryptoMarket #USRegulation

🚀 SEC Designates Naoris Protocol as Reference Model for Post-Quantum Cryptography Transition
#SEC #NaorisProtocol #PostQuantumCryptography #Cybersecurity #Blockchain #PQFIF #QuantumComputing #USRegulation #DigitalAssets #NIST
According to BlockBeats, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially designated Naoris Protocol as a reference model for the financial industry's transition to post-quantum cryptography within the Post-Quantum Financial Infrastructure Framework (PQFIF). This strategic document, submitted to the U.S. Crypto Asset Task Force, places Naoris Protocol at the forefront of U.S. cybersecurity regulatory priorities.
The release of this strategic document comes amid the rise of quantum computing, which poses a significant threat to the protection of digital assets. By 2034, the probability of quantum computers breaking the RSA-2048 algorithm is estimated to be between 17% and 34%, potentially endangering trillions of dollars in digital assets. The PQFIF references Naoris Protocol three times.
Naoris Protocol stands out with its "Sub-Zero Layer" architecture, which enables the integration of post-quantum cryptography into existing EVM blockchains without requiring hard forks or interruptions. Its approach utilizes NIST-approved algorithms (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA) to safeguard blockchain infrastructure.#SEC #NaorisProtocol #PostQuantumCryptography #Cybersecurity #Blockchain #PQFIF #QuantumComputing #USRegulation #DigitalAssets #NIST
🚀 SEC Chair Paul Atkins Discusses Digital Asset Regulation Progress

According to Cointelegraph, Paul Atkins, the chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), expressed confidence in advancing digital asset regulation without the need for new legislation from Congress. In a recent interview with CNBC, Atkins highlighted the SEC's role in providing technical assistance as Congress deliberates on digital asset regulation, particularly the market structure bill currently under consideration in the U.S. Senate. Despite the challenges posed by the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, Atkins emphasized the agency's ongoing efforts to develop rules aimed at supporting the crypto sector.
Atkins stated, "We have enough authority to drive forward," and expressed optimism about introducing an innovation exemption in the near future. His remarks came during a public appearance before the New York Stock Exchange opening bell, where he outlined his vision for the SEC's future initiatives. Atkins, who was confirmed as SEC chair in April following his nomination by U.S. President Donald Trump, has been proactive in reducing enforcement actions against crypto companies, including issuing no-action letters for decentralized physical infrastructure networks. His approach aligns with several policy directives from the Trump administration, which has issued executive orders related to crypto and blockchain.
Meanwhile, U.S. regulators are closely monitoring the progress of a market structure bill that aims to define the regulatory authority of agencies like the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission over cryptocurrencies. The Senate Agriculture Committee and the Senate Banking Committee are actively working on advancing this legislation. Senate Banking Chair Tim Scott announced plans to have the bill ready for markup by December, signaling a significant step forward in establishing a comprehensive regulatory framework for digital assets.#SEC #digitalassets #cryptoregulation #USCongress #cryptomarket #SECChair #PaulAtkins #innovationexemption #crypto #blockchain #USregulation #marketstructurebill #financialregulation #cryptoenforcement #noactionletters

#CertiK #Web3 #DigitalAssets #USRegulation #FinancialSystem #CodeAuditing #InstitutionalSecurity #Compliance #SkynetReport #RegulatoryFramework #2025
According to Foresight News, Web3 security firm CertiK has released the '2025 Skynet U.S. Digital Asset Policy Report,' which outlines the trajectory of digital asset regulation in the United States by 2025. The report indicates that the U.S. has established a relatively clear and systematic regulatory framework for digital assets, focusing on key areas such as issuance, trading, and custody. Federal legislative and administrative reforms are converging, transitioning the market from an 'exploration phase' to a 'systematic stage.'
As regulatory directions for centralized functions become increasingly defined, digital assets are steadily integrating into the U.S. financial system. Financial institutions are shifting their strategic focus towards licensed digital assets, with code auditing becoming a crucial method for ensuring institutional security and compliance. This trend is driving the ongoing development of the industry.#CertiK #Web3 #DigitalAssets #USRegulation #FinancialSystem #CodeAuditing #InstitutionalSecurity #Compliance #SkynetReport #RegulatoryFramework #2025

According to BlockBeats, the IoTeX team attended the Washington Policy Summit as the chair of the Blockchain Association DePIN working group. The team engaged in in-depth discussions with several key policymakers, including U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins, Senator Bill Harley, and Representative Haley Stevens.
The summit focused on critical topics such as crypto market structure, stablecoins, and real-world assets (RWA). IoTeX co-founder Jing highlighted in discussions with SEC Chairman Atkins that machine networks and artificial intelligence are paving the way for a new economy. The on-chain tokenization of DePIN and RWA can help the U.S. open capital access, alleviate energy shortages during the AI revolution, and enable ordinary people to participate in the new economy, thereby promoting the widespread adoption of stablecoins.
Regarding crypto asset regulation, SEC Chairman Atkins expressed a positive outlook, stating that most tokens, including DePIN networks and digital tools, would not be classified as securities, and ICO fundraising might resume in the U.S. Atkins further revealed that the SEC plans to advance token classification and innovation exemption mechanisms next year to provide a clearer regulatory path.
As the global regulatory framework accelerates, IoTeX is deeply involved in high-level government dialogues, aiming to promote compliance processes based on technological innovation and support the U.S. in maintaining a leading position in digital currency developments within decentralized infrastructure and AI sectors.#IoTeX #BlockchainAssociation #DePIN #CryptoMarket #Stablecoins #RWA #AIRevolution #Tokenization #DigitalAssets #SEC #Regulation #InnovationExemption #USRegulation #CapitalAccess #CryptoAssets #ArtificialIntelligence #IOTX

Vanguard has increased its holdings in Metaplanet, attributed to index mechanics rather than a strategic investment in Bitcoin treasuries. According to NS3.AI, Metaplanet is trading at a premium market-to-net-asset-value (mNAV) ratio of 1.37x and continues to accumulate Bitcoin. In contrast, its peers, Strategy and Semler, are trading below their net asset value.
