The SEC’s Project Crypto: A New Era for Blockchain Strategy

expert panel

In July 2025, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announced it was establishing formal regulatory frameworks for digital assets—including tokenized securities, DeFi platforms and disclosure standards—with the launch of Project Crypto. According to SEC Chairman Paul S. Atkins, the initiative seeks to “modernize the securities rules and regulations to enable America’s financial markets to move on-chain.” For blockchain leaders and innovators, this marks a welcome shift from ambiguity to actionable clarity—particularly around how tokenized assets will be classified, which DeFi activities will fall under securities oversight, and what disclosure standards will be required for institutional adoption. The critical question for C-suite leaders is no longer whether blockchain will be regulated, but how quickly disciplined adoption will become a differentiator for market leadership. Members of the Senior Executive Blockchain Think Tank, a curated group of blockchain innovators and executives, are carefully assessing the implications as the SEC moves forward. Below, two of them share how they interpret Project Crypto—and how business leaders should prepare to navigate the evolving legal landscape while remaining competitive.
