According to Techub News, Decrypt reports that SEC Chairman Paul Atkins has withdrawn his previous timeline for the "crypto innovation exemption" to be released this month, and declined to commit to releasing the final rule this month or even next month when asked about the timing. He stated that the SEC is still studying the details and is taking a cautious approach, emphasizing that the progress of the crypto market structure bill currently being considered by Congress could also affect the timing of the exemption rule's release.
These proposed exemption rules aim to provide assurances to companies in specific crypto sectors, such as tokenized securities and DeFi, protecting their activities from SEC enforcement action. Atkins stated last December that it hoped the rules could be released in January.
