U.S. crypto policy is shifting from ad-hoc enforcement to a coordinated, rules first framework led by the SEC (under Chair Paul S. Atkins) and the CFTC. The agencies are aligning on definitions, market access, custody, and disclosures, with the SEC’s Peirce-led Crypto Task Force acting as a cross-division “control tower.” Priorities include clear classification, registration/listing pathways for tokenized products, robust custody/surveillance, and cross-border coordination. The CFTC is advancing tokenized collateral (including stablecoins), and a rare SEC no action letter signals a more collaborative stance. Expect sharper taxonomies, tiered disclosures, bank-grade custody standards, bespoke approaches to DeFi, and continued but more targeted enforcement aimed at enabling onshore, compliant innovation and safer market rails, with 2026 positioned for a more predictable system.
