The US markets have seen a surge of digital coins. Millions of Americans now 
hold tokens in their wallets. Blocking all of it suddenly would be nearly 
impossible. At the same time, leaving this sector with no rules puts everyday 
investors in harm’s way. Related Reading: Bitcoin Insult Alert: Pro Trader 
Dubs HODLers ‘Idiots,’ Saylor Fires Back Why Ban Is Off The Table According to 
Bloomberg columnist Matt Levine, outright banning crypto is off the table. He 
points out that tens of millions of people own digital assets today. Pulling 
the plug now would ripple through trading platforms, payment apps, and even 
major Wall Street firms. Levine argues that such a move would simply drive 
innovation and jobs offshore. Hostile Past Still Looms Under former SEC Chair 
Gary Gensler, most tokens were treated as stocks. That meant they needed to 
register under securities laws—a process that almost no project could clear. 
In practice, that stance rendered crypto “illegal” in the US. Many developers 
and investors felt shut out. Matt Levine: “We will ban crypto” is no longer 
feasible for the SEC, and “we will ignore crypto because it’s not a security 
so not our problem” is not very attractive for the SEC. The only choice left 
is “we will regulate crypto, but in a way that you like.

According to analysts, crypto serves two purposes: it powers networks and it 
offers investment chances. That split role creates regulatory headaches. Many 
tokens act much like shares in a company, yet they also run on open software 
and community rules. The SEC knows how to protect stock investors, but digital 
coins need different safeguards. Project Crypto Signals Change Current SEC 
Chair Paul Atkins launched “Project Crypto” this year. The goal is to carve 
out faster, clearer paths for token registration. Projects that truly function 
as securities could follow a new, streamlined process. At the same time, 
tokens used mainly for network services would face lighter requirements.

warns that drawing clear lines won’t be easy. How do you tell a governance 
token from a pure utility token? What level of disclosure makes sense when 
code can update itself overnight? Those questions will test regulators and 
industry alike. However, having defined categories would guide honest 
developers and protect small investors. The SEC now faces a clear choice: use 
its power, but adapt its toolkit. A full ban would leave retail holders 
stranded. Total hands-off would leave them exposed to fraud. Featured image
