BTC SEC Chairman Paul Atkins said that digital asset regulation will advance independently of the Senate vote on the CLARITY Act.
On September 14, at the Solana Policy Institute Summit, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins elaborated on the agency's ongoing work and the importance of current legislative efforts to cryptocurrency regulation. He made it clear that no matter what decision the Senate makes on the CLARITY Act, the relevant work of the regulatory agency will continue as planned.
Project Crypto Plan Establishes Regulatory Priorities
As head of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Atkins introduced the agency's three main rulemaking priorities under the Project Crypto initiative. He stressed that these efforts will not be stalled by Senate decisions.
The first initiative is the Cryptographic Assets Regulations, which aim to make a major amendment to federal securities laws and provide a clear path for token issuers to raise funds within the United States. Atkins said this would be one of the most significant changes in securities policy in recent years.
The formulation of the second rule revolves around the transfer agency rule, which has not been updated for 40 years. Atkins pointed out that modernizing these rules is crucial for tokenized securities and on-chain investment funds. Currently, institutional investors such as ARK, BlackRock and Fidelity have been active in this field.
第三项措施是一项提议，允许在没有合格第三方托管人的情况下，由投资顾问自行保管加密资产。该方案由SEC工作人员起草，还可能允许州信托公司担任托管人，从而为考虑涉足数字资产的投资顾问和基金经理消除关键障碍。
术语解释：
转让代理（Transfer Agent）：指管理并跟踪注册金融资产（如股票和债券）所有权变更的实体，确保记录准确无误。这一角色在传统资产和代币化资产中均具有重要意义。
阿特金斯强调，“Project Crypto”计划的步伐不会放缓。他表示：“即使参议院的立场发生变化，监管进程仍将继续，因此投资者和市场参与者必须密切关注立法和监管两方面的发展动态。”
参议院《CLARITY法案》面临政治阻碍
定于周二进行的《CLARITY法案》终结辩论投票至少需要60名参议员支持才能通过——这意味着7名民主党人需加入全部53名共和党人一方，才能使法案进入下一阶段。然而，即便成功通过终结辩论投票，也仅意味着可以进一步辩论，并不能保证法案最终成为法律。
Senator Cynthia Loomis, the bill's main promoter, called the moment urgent and said Democrats had won more than 100 changes, including self-custody protection for digital assets and the creation of a new office dedicated to retail investor protection. The amendments were reached after President Trump approved a clause that ensures elected officials and their spouses adhere to ethical standards.
Despite multiple changes, some Senate Democrats are still preparing a separate alternative proposal. In addition, several American Banking Associations and the New York Attorney General's Office have formally opposed the current version of the bill.
Congressional Support and Industry Voices
Several leaders, including Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and Grayscale, agreed with Atkins that regulatory advances in cryptocurrencies will continue no matter how delayed the legislative process. Armstrong recently said: "Regardless of the Senate process, regulatory clarity in the cryptocurrency space is an inevitable trend."
Regulatory and legislative paths advance in parallel
Atkins's remarks suggest that the regulatory calendar set by the SEC will not be affected by congressional progress. Project Crypto's rulemaking agenda is expected to advance in parallel with legislative negotiations for the rest of the year, reflecting the agency's commitment to providing regulatory certainty to the U.S. digital asset market.
三位具有影响力的代表人物——SEC的阿特金斯、Coinbase的阿姆斯特朗以及资产管理公司Grayscale——如今共同表态，美国加密货币行业的全面规则将由机构行动和立法进程共同塑造。随着数字资产政策格局的演变，预计投资者和行业参与者将拥有两条值得关注的渠道来把握监管动向。
