SEC Chair Atkins: SEC Will Clarify On-Chain Fundraising Rules Even if CLARITY Bill Fails

On September 30, according to Bitcoin.com citing CNBC, SEC Chair Paul Atkins stated on September 29 that even if the CLARITY bill fails in Congress, the SEC will "proceed to provide clear guidance on on-chain fundraising." The bill was voted down in the Senate on September 15, failing to meet the 60-vote threshold with a 49-50 vote. Atkins emphasized that "regardless of legislation, the SEC will act decisively within its statutory authority," but did not specify the form of guidance (exemption, registration pathway, or advisory). Commissioner Hester Peirce, known as the "crypto mom," will leave on October 2, leaving only Chair Atkins and Commissioner Mark Uyeda at the SEC, with a Democratic seat vacant. This year, the SEC remains the sole hope for practitioners regarding regulatory clarity.

  • Hyperliquid Co-Founder: On-Chain Financial Differentiation Lies in Self-Custody and Transparency, Not 24/7 Trading

    On September 30, according to The Block, Hyperliquid co-founder Jeff Yan stated during the Korea Blockchain Week that 24/7 trading is not the key differentiator of on-chain venues compared to traditional exchanges. He believes the lasting advantages of on-chain systems lie in self-custody and transparency: users retain control over their own funds, which is particularly crucial when issues arise with counterparties, intermediaries, or custodians. Transparency allows users to theoretically understand everything about the system, a level of trust and neutrality that centralized institutions struggle to provide. He also mentioned that continuous trading still holds value for assets (such as commodities, stocks, and pre-IPO targets) that lack public pricing during traditional exchange closures; he believes the private equity market presents the next significant opportunity for 24/7 trading.
