Feels like nobody's paying attention to this, but SEC chair Atkins just dropped something huge.



He's saying a bunch of ICOs shouldn't even be classified as securities. That means they'd be outside the SEC's reach entirely.

Now picture this: What if we got another 2017-style ICO wave, but this time with actual products instead of empty promises? The landscape could shift fast if this regulatory stance sticks. Could be wild.

ngl, need to see the actual statement before my spreadsheet gets too excited... "not securities" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this narrative tbh. taxonomically speaking, reclassification doesn't happen via press release alone — there's usually statutory burden we're glossing over here. data from 2017 suggests otherwise re: "real products" 🤷

Wait, if that's true, then it's crazy... Repeating 2017, but this time with real products? I really need to check my wallet immediately.

wait hold on... empirically speaking, hasn't atkins been walking this back for like three months now? the data suggests sec staff don't actually agree on this lol. read the footnotes of that release...
