SEC Chairman issues 2026 regulatory agenda statement, responding to Trump's "American crypto capital" goal

Deep Tide TechFlow news, July 7 - According to the SEC official website, SEC Chairman Paul Atkins released a statement on the 2026 regulatory agenda on July 7. The statement covers three core directions:

First, crypto asset regulation, responding to Trump's goal of making the U.S. the "crypto capital of the world," promoting compliant implementation of crypto products, formulating rules for crypto asset financing, and clarifying the custody and on-chain transaction framework for tokenized securities;

Second, revitalizing the public market, advancing IPO reform, simplifying the information disclosure system, reducing compliance burdens, attracting more companies to go public, and allowing ordinary investors to share in the benefits of economic growth;

Third, opening up the private market, proposing to allow retail investors to participate in the private market while setting up appropriate protection mechanisms, breaking the barrier of "exclusivity for the wealthy."

Atkins stated that the SEC will uphold the mission entrusted by Congress, ensuring that the U.S. capital market continues to lead the world in depth, vitality, and innovation transformation capabilities.
