🔥 Acting head of the SEC, Mark Ueda:

✔ Crypto market - like a stock market in the XIX century: it is growing rapidly, but without clear rules.

✔ Different licenses in each state hinder development. A unified federal approach is needed.

✔ Exchanges should be allowed to trade both tokens and ordinary crypto assets under one SEC license.

✔ Most tokenized assets are unregistered - exchanges cannot leaf them through.

✔ Crypto platforms are arranged differently than traditional exchanges. They combine storage, clearing and execution - this requires a special approach.

✔ Blockchain can make settlements and clearing more reliable and effective. DeFi protocols allow you to trade around the clock.

✔ Federal legislation is outdated.

✔ Temporary relaxations are needed to let technology develop (original)
