BlockBeats News, May 30th, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins stated during his speech at the 2026 Reagan National Economic Forum that the SEC is actively advancing former President Trump's goal of "Making America the Global Cryptocurrency Hub." The SEC is collaborating with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to promote Project Crypto, aiming to enhance the regulatory framework for the decentralized finance market. Atkins mentioned that the SEC has issued guidance on digital asset classification, specifying which digital assets are securities and which are not. The SEC is also progressing towards an Innovation Exemption for tokenized securities and studying how to integrate on-chain trading systems into the existing regulatory structure. He noted that the previous U.S. regulatory environment had hostility towards the digital asset industry, leading to significant innovation and businesses relocating overseas. Currently, the SEC and CFTC are strengthening regulatory coordination, ending the long-standing regulatory ambiguity, and providing market participants with a clearer compliance path. Furthermore, Atkins announced that the SEC has proposed repealing the climate disclosure rule introduced by the previous administration and will continue to advance reforms such as reducing regulatory burdens on listed companies and encouraging corporate listings.

BlockBeats News, May 29th, Hyperliquid lobbying group Hyperliquid Policy Center published a welcome the latest regulatory measures by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), including approving the first-ever listed perpetual contract in the United States, releasing a policy statement on perpetual derivatives listing, related interpretative guidance and a no-action relief letter, as well as a staff advisory on 24/7 trading, clearing, and settlement. The Hyperliquid Policy Center stated that these measures mark the regulatory authorities' first clear recognition of the legitimacy and importance of perpetual contracts in price discovery and risk management. It pointed out that past regulatory uncertainty has led market activity and liquidity to flow overseas, weakening the U.S.'s competitiveness in the global derivatives market. The Hyperliquid Policy Center also expressed its expectation to deepen cooperation with the CFTC and promote the establishment of a regulatory framework applicable not only to centralized intermediaries but also to on-chain protocols. Currently, the majority of perpetual contract trading activity actually occurs in on-chain markets.
