SEC Crypto Innovation Exemption Coming in January: What It Means for U.S. Digital Asset Regulation
The SEC plans to launch a crypto innovation exemption in January 2026, creating a regulatory sandbox for tokenized assets, airdrops, and DeFi experiments under lighter oversight. Chair Atkins says the exemption will help the U.S. regain leadership in digital asset markets after years of strict enforcement. Stock exchanges warn it may bypass listing rules, but industry analysts expect the exemption to accelerate tokenization and crypto innovation across the United States.
