US SEC Chairman: Most tokens are not securities, supporting "super application" platforms

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins stated that "most crypto tokens are not securities," and outlined a comprehensive plan to bring crypto activities such as trading, lending, and staking under a unified regulatory framework. Atkins stated at the OECD Roundtable in Paris on Wednesday that the SEC will usher in a new chapter, with policy no longer determined by ad hoc enforcement actions, but rather by providing clear rules to help innovators develop. The Presidential Task Force on Digital Asset Markets has submitted a "bold blueprint" to support this mission.
