Recently, the new chairman of the SEC, Paul Atkins, said something quite interesting – that the U.S. crackdown on Crypto Assets has "lasted too long." As soon as this statement was made, discussions within the community erupted.

Why has the regulatory environment suddenly loosened? The underlying logic is not complicated. The crypto market has indeed changed over the past few years; it is no longer the wild growth of the early days. Institutional funds are entering the market in large numbers, and countries around the world are establishing their own regulatory frameworks, with the acceptance of digital assets visibly increasing. If the United States continues to cling to its old hardline attitude, capital may really flee to other places, and competitiveness will naturally decline.

What will Atkins' statement bring? In the short term, market sentiment will definitely be affected - policy uncertainty is always a Damocles' sword hanging over our heads, and volatility is inevitable. But looking long-term, if the SEC really adjusts its stance, it will definitely be a positive signal for the entire industry. A more friendly regulatory environment means more room for innovation and will also attract more compliant capital to enter the market.

Of course, that being said, the shift in regulation won't happen overnight. What investors need to do now is to keep a close eye on policy trends and adjust their strategies flexibly based on the actual situation. After all, in this market, the information gap is the difference between real money.
