The SEC just swapped lawsuits for an “innovation exemption”—and that could change U.S. crypto overnight. In Monday’s roundtable, new chair Paul Atkins unveiled a sandbox-style fast-track that lets DeFi builders ship on-chain products without drowning in phone-book-thick paperwork. With 42 % of U.S. crypto devs already gone, this could stem the brain drain and pull billions back home.

Our host breaks it down like a sidewalk chat—stats, war stories, even a $35 k legal invoice—then weighs the carrot-and-stick safeguards, President Trump’s “crypto capital” dream, and how the SEC Crypto Task Force’s upcoming report might turbo-charge liquidity.
