The SEC released on Tuesday its regulatory agenda for 2026, which includes a planned meeting on cryptocurrency regulation later this month.
SEC Lists New Crypto-Related Proposals
The agency has proposed amendments to Exchange Act Rules that would allow cryptocurrencies to be traded alongside traditional assets on regulated platforms, such as Alternative Trading Systems and national securities exchanges.
ATS platforms are SEC-regulated electronic trading systems that match orders for buyers and sellers of securities and are typically not as highly regulated as exchanges.
The SEC said that the proposal is “necessary to help clarify the regulatory framework for crypto assets and provide greater certainty to the market.”
