SEC Chair Advocates for Limited ICO Regulation

According to BlockBeats, SEC Chairman Paul Atkins stated at the Blockchain Association's annual policy summit that various types of Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) should be considered non-securities transactions and thus fall outside the SEC's regulatory scope. Atkins referenced his recently introduced token classification framework, which divides the cryptocurrency industry into four main token categories. He emphasized that network tokens, digital collectibles, and digital utilities should not be classified as securities, and their related ICOs should also be viewed as non-securities transactions. Atkins highlighted that the only ICO category the SEC should regulate is tokenized securities, which involve the tokenization of securities already under SEC regulation source: https://www.binance.com/en/square/post/33502749343113?utm_source=BinanceNewsRSS
