Paul Atkins just dropped a bomb at the SEC. The new chair made it crystal clear: ICOs linked to network tokens, digital collectibles, or utility tools? Not securities. The commission won't be going after them anymore.

This marks a massive shift from the previous administration's aggressive stance. Projects building actual blockchain infrastructure and NFT platforms can finally breathe. No more treating every token launch like a stock offering.

The regulatory ice age might actually be thawing.
