SEC Chairman Paul Atkins announced "Project Crypto": A commission-wide push to rewrite securities law and bring America’s financial markets onchain. His words: “The future of markets is decentralized. We intend to lead it.” 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: America is about to become the crypto capital of the world. 𝟱 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲-𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗰𝗵: 𝟭.

What this really means: For years, crypto innovation fled to Singapore, Switzerland, Dubai. The SEC's "regulation by enforcement" killed American leadership. 𝗡𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿. Every offshore crypto company that left during the Gensler era? They're about to come home. Every Wall Street firm that sat on the sidelines? They're about to go all-in. This opens the floodgates for the next era of capital market infrastructure – built on-chain.  We’re just getting started.  🚨 We'll unpack all of this in our next digital asset newsletter for 30k+ subs: www.51insights.xyz PS: We help digital asset companies drive influence, adoption, and scale.
