New SEC Chairman States: Most ICOs Should Not Be Regulated as Securities

【区块律动】12月10日消息，美国SEC新任主席Paul Atkins在区块链协会年度政策峰会上抛出重磅观点——不是所有ICO都该被SEC管着。

Atkins拿出他上个月搞的代币分类方案，把加密货币圈子里的代币分成四大类。他直言，网络代币、数字收藏品、数字工具这三类压根不该算证券，相关的ICO发行也不应被当成证券交易来监管。

那SEC到底该管啥？Atkins给出明确答案：只盯着代币化证券就行——就是那些本来就在SEC监管范围内的传统证券，跑到链上做代币化的交易。言外之意，其他类型的ICO别再动不动就扣个"非法证券发行"的帽子了。

这番表态要是落地，整个加密行业的合规路径可能得重新洗牌。

Wait, is this true? Atkins is finally speaking plainly Brother Paul, can this move really loosen the ICO regulations? Wow, online tokens are not considered securities? How many historical cases would that change? Oh my, finally someone at the SEC dares to do this It sounds appealing, just not sure if it will reverse again Tokenized securities with a one-size-fits-all approach, others can play however they want? This idea is still clear If the rules are really changed like this, how many projects will survive again? Feels like this guy is much better than the previous one, at least his attitude is different

This guy finally started talking sense, at last! Wait, can this really be implemented? Feels like just another pie in the sky... Damn, network tokens and digital tools are no longer considered securities? What about those projects that were messed with before... Atkins really understands this time, but who knows how long he can stick with it I just want to know when we can truly loosen up, and not keep messing around again Reworking the compliance path sounds good, but who knows what will happen Finally, someone with a clear head is speaking If this becomes a reality, the industry will take off directly

Wait, is Atkins really going to relax the rules? With network tokens no longer considered securities, this will be such a relief for so many projects.

Damn, Atkins really made a bold move here. Finally, someone is speaking plainly. Now those project teams can breathe a sigh of relief, no need to worry every day about getting targeted. But then again, implementation is what really matters. Whether the SEC will truly loosen up remains to be seen. If this really happens, imagine how many projects will need to reassess... feels like another major shake-up is coming. It's finally our turn to shine—gotta seize this opportunity. Atkins really seems to be here for reform, not just to keep things stuck. The question is, will other regulators follow suit... If the US loosens up, what about Europe? Wait, does this mean some old projects might make a comeback? Either way, it’s a bullish signal; what matters is how it’s executed going forward. The right people are in place, the policies are being opened up, now it’s up to the market to react. Does this new classification scheme really change the game, or is it more of the same? Chairman Atkins is different this time, at least he’s not blocking our path.

Finally, someone is speaking the truth. I’ve been sick of all this random labeling for a long time. Damn, this guy really gets it—not every token has to kneel just to survive. Unbelievable, the SEC actually wants to classify things rationally. I suspect it might be photoshopped. Wait, can this really be implemented? Feels like another empty promise. Is a new era of compliance coming? Forget it, I won’t get my hopes up. Sounds nice, but let’s see if those Americans actually take action to crush our tokens. Now things are getting interesting. Are miners finally making a comeback? Atkins really nailed it this time—finally, someone untangled this mess. A bunch of shitcoins are going to panic, but ours has nothing to fear.

There’s hope this time, finally someone dares to challenge the SEC. But can Atkins’ theory really be implemented? It still feels too idealistic. Classifying network tokens separately? Seems like it’s giving DeFi the green light. Wait, does this mean all those previously prosecuted projects might be exonerated? Calling it a reshuffle sounds nice, but in reality, it’s just the same old thing in a new package. I didn’t expect Atkins to have such guts—are the internal struggles within the SEC really this intense? Finally, someone gets it—not every token is a security. If this actually goes into effect, all those American law firms will collectively be out of work.
