The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) needs to update its enforcement approach and regulation of the crypto market, according to a post on a16zcrypto.com. The post suggests six steps the SEC could take to create regulations that are suitable for the growing crypto industry. These steps include providing guidance on the distribution of incentive-based crypto rewards, revising regulation crowdfunding rules for crypto startups, removing restrictions on broker-dealers participating in the crypto industry, providing clarity on regulatory treatment and accounting rules for custody of crypto assets, adopting reform measures for exchange-traded products (ETPs) to foster financial innovation, and allowing regulated crypto trading platforms to trade assets for which they can provide accurate information. These steps aim to balance investor protection with capital formation and innovation in the crypto market.
