SEC Chairman Paul Atkins is on a mission to bring crypto to the mainstream.
At the OECD Roundtable on Global Financial Markets held in Paris, he made it clear once again. With clearer token classifications, on-chain capital raising, and regulatory partnerships, crypto’s golden age is here.
For example, he promises more clarity on which tokens are and aren’t securities, aligning with Trump’s deregulatory stance. The new view is that overregulation stifles Web3 innovation in the US.
He also proposes new frameworks to support crypto-native fundraising models, along with integrated super app trading platforms that offer trading, lending, and passive income opportunities.
This has the potential to attract more crypto capital to the US market and give the nation an edge in Web3, similar to its current lead in AI.
Atkins also highlighted the importance of collaborations with global regulators to harmonize crypto regulations across the world.
His message aligns with global trends, as this year witnessed more and more countries taking bold crypto initiatives, pumping more retail and institutional capital into the market.
While blue-chip cryptos will be the first to benefit from the shifting regulatory environment, they can’t repeat their exponential price surges like in the past. That’s why new cryptocurrencies, those in the infrastructure niche in particular, are crucial to building a strong crypto portfolio.
The Bitcoin blockchain has long struggled with its lack of speed and programmability. Although it is the first crypto and blockchain, it has yet to catch up with Web3 innovation.
This is where Hyper steps in, with a new layer powered by Solana’s Virtual Machine (SVM) and a canonical bridge. These components accomplish key goals within the new ecosystem:
Together, these tools open $BTC to the rapidly evolving world of DeFi, dApps, and other Web3 innovations.
Although $BTC is more popular than any crypto when it comes to being a storage value, it risks falling behind in tech progress. The gap could widen and alienate $BTC from the broader crypto market if the blockchain is not integrated into promising crypto niches.
The low token price (currently $0.012895), along with the dynamic staking APYs (now at 74%), make the opportunity too tempting to ignore.
Bitcoin Hyper also ranks high for credibility. Despite being an early-stage project, the devs regularly update their progress on the website. The team recently confirmed the completion of early prototypes validating SVM execution inside the rollup.
In addition, the smart contract has undergone two independent security audits by Coinsult and SolidProof, eliminating concerns of rug pulls and vulnerabilities often seen in early-stage projects.
