TechFlow, April 12 — According to Cointelegraph, Mark Uyeda, acting chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), said that while a permanent regulatory regime is still being developed, a rapidly advancing interim crypto regulatory framework could foster innovation in the U.S. crypto industry.
During the SEC's Crypto Task Force roundtable on April 11, Uyeda highlighted that a time-limited, conditional exemption framework for both registered and non-registered parties could promote blockchain innovation in the United States in the short term. He pointed out the risks of state-by-state regulation leading to a "patchwork of state licensing regimes," and proposed establishing a unified federal regulatory framework so market participants can operate under a single SEC license instead of navigating "50 different state licenses."
Uyeda will continue serving as acting chairman until Paul Atkins, nominated by Trump, officially assumes the role. Previously, the U.S. Senate confirmed Atkins' nomination as SEC chair by a vote of 52-44.
