The SEC is planning to formally establish an "Innovation Hub" policy by the end of the year.

BlockBeats News, October 8th, according to CoinDesk's report, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins stated that the SEC still plans to formally establish an "Innovation Hub," allowing companies to conduct digital asset and other innovative technology-related businesses in the United States, with the earliest possible rollout of this initiative by the end of this quarter.

Atkins made the remarks at the "Futures & Derivatives Law Report" event held in Midtown Manhattan by the law firm Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP, stating that despite the current U.S. government shutdown "limiting" the SEC's progress in rule-making, he will still advance this exemption as a key focus for the end of the year or the first quarter of 2026.
