The new chairman of the SEC said: Most tokens are not considered securities, and ICOs may be restarted in the United States

On December 10, there were some interesting signals at the policy summit in Washington. A decentralized infrastructure project team was present as the chairman of the Blockchain Association DePIN working group and chatted with several heavyweights - the new SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, Senator Bill Harley, and Rep. Haley Stevens were all present.

The topic is very real: how to do the crypto market, where stablecoins are going, and how to pave the way for real-world assets to be put on the chain. Jing, the co-founder of this project, threw out a point of view when communicating with Chairman Atkins - machine networks and AI are reshaping economic rules, and the on-chain tokenization of DePIN and RWA is not only a technological innovation, but also can help the United States solve practical problems: opening the door to capital access, alleviating the energy pressure when AI soars, and more importantly, allowing ordinary people to get a piece of the pie. Under this logic, the large-scale application of stablecoins has real soil.

Atkins’ response was powerful. He made it clear that the vast majority of tokens – including those used in DePIN networks – will not be labeled as securities. What’s even more exciting is that ICO fundraising may have to be restarted in the United States. He also explained that the SEC will push token classification standards and innovative exemption mechanisms next year to give the industry a clear compliance path.

Global regulatory frameworks are accelerating, and such dialogues at the top of government levels are becoming increasingly critical. For the United States, a shift in regulatory attitudes is a necessary step to stay ahead of the curve in decentralized infrastructure and AI.
