In today’s episode, we unpack how the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is rethinking its hardline approach to crypto regulation.

Acting Chair Mark Uyeda is pressing pause on a controversial plan that would’ve forced many crypto firms to register as Alternative Trading Systems (ATS)

— a move that had the industry in full pushback mode.

We dive into:

✅ Why the SEC pushed for strict rules in the first place

✅ What’s changed — and why the ATS rule may be scrapped altogether

✅ What this means for global crypto regulation and the U.S. vs. EU fintech race

It’s a big moment for the crypto world—regulatory winds are shifting,

and the U.S. might just become the most crypto-friendly playground out there.

Let’s talk about what it means, what’s next,

and why this change actually matters.

Grab your coffee, hit play, and let’s get into it.
