REGULATORY BOMB

Paul Atkins (SEC Chair) announces "Innovation Exemption" Crypto in 30 Days.

The Christmas gift that the industry has been asking for years!

The new chair of the #SEC, Paul S. Atkins, made the most dovish statement since the #TRUMP era in an exclusive interview with CNBC.

The Commission will issue an "innovation exemption" for the crypto industry in approximately one month (January 2026), allowing blockchain projects to launch products and services without complying with certain traditional securities rules under specific light registration and regulatory sandbox conditions.

The essence of the announcement:

Innovation Exemption: Companies will be able to tokenize RWAs, launch stablecoins, DeFi protocols, and digital securities with temporary relief from the Howey Test and broker-dealer requirements, as long as they meet basic reporting and investor protection.

Timeline: ~30 days (end of January 2026), the first time the SEC creates a formal “regulatory sandbox” post-FIT21.

IPO Boost 2026: Atkins confirmed new policies to “improve the market environment for Initial Public Offerings” —less paperwork, more flexibility for crypto/tech companies that want to list directly.
