      This is very good news for Bitcoin and ETH holders. Much clearer lanes. Will encourage more institutional adoption. Safer for all. Bitcoin will be treated more as a commodity like gold. That strengthens Bitcoin as a digital gold and an institutional safe-asset.

      Sounds like SEC have no clue what they are regulating, what I can get from this video is, lets try this if its break then we know we screw up, but lets rush this out, or I else I’m gonna loose my job in which I’m not even qualified.

      Wow…. I am blown away by this presentation. I was an insecure 42 year old, in January 2018 when I started buying Stocks/options. Everyone thought I was irrational. Most still do. I put my income and savings and watched the value drop each month but for some reason really believed in Stocks and Options even though I don't totally understand. Finally, the stock market started turning around and I am astonished at the value of my stock portfolio today. I engaged in active trading. Thanks again, Ms. Victoria Wiezorek, for the regular updates..

      Can someone calculate the revenue of exchange fee in 2026 of all exchanges. Including saylor and major etfs. Alot of up and down means alot of trade fees. And if most exchanges are registered in tax free countries THATS ALOT. Soooo is it possible that the exchanges have made more more than all of cryptos marketcap combined. And that youtubers are paid by exchanges to release such controversial opinions that really do hurt people?

      It is garbage, until or unless it is backed by gold it is garbage. It is too volatile, up and down by demand and fear it is not stable. You would be better off buying a baseball cards.

      The emphasis on having a clear exit strategy is crucial, especially after experiencing the volatility of previous bull and bear markets. It's refreshing to see the focus on setting realistic goals and understanding Crypto trading. This approach not only prepares you for unexpected market shifts but also keeps you grounded during the volatile of the market price. It's a valuable reminder that crypto investing should ultimately serve our personal aspirations, rather than just becoming a game of chasing numbers…managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 932k in the space of a few months. Thanks again, Linda Keichian , for the regular updates,

      Crypto is electronic fund transfer, it's not new. Satoshi took the process of the bank and teach it to simple people. You and me on the street. The aim is to be a currency and it must be come the Highlander .. LOL.There shall be only ONE. Blockchain can be use NFT's etc but what makes it valuable. It was hard to accept Tulips as a food source, just as with manure. You can sell anything as longs as there's a demand. SEC must know that crypto was a rebellion and now govt gives a lot of time an money to please the rebellion. Exchange laws cannot be uphold with crypto. Years of wasted money in taskforces to move across borders. How is embezzled funds going to be traced. Pensioners will be long gone waiting on crypto pension fund payout that never realized. SEC need to make the Blockchain main and determine the process like currency or NFT. Keep those things highly distinguishable.

      For me the one they should focus not the crypto who gaves people income but those who scamming and playing the market to go down. Come on like a group who suddenly drop a lot to make panic in the market people who steal scam people

      A meaningful shift in tone here from the SEC. Drawing a clearer line between commodities and securities—and explicitly carving out categories like stablecoins and certain NFTs—could finally give builders and institutional players the framework they’ve been asking for.

      The real test will be how consistently this is applied in practice, but a joint approach with the CFTC and the mention of a sandbox signals a more constructive path forward for U.S. crypto innovation.
