Chain Capital is a digital fund focusing on investing in blockchain projects and managing professional digital assets.
U.S. SEC Chairman Paul S. Atkins stated at the 2026 Reagan National Economic Forum that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is advancing a "New Era SEC" regulatory reform, focusing on modernizing digital asset regulation, promoting on-chain capital market development, and supporting the U.S. in becoming a "global crypto hub."Paul Atkins criticized the SEC's previous "regulatory hostility" towards the digital asset industry, alleging that much crypto innovation was forced to relocate overseas. He stated that with the support of the Trump administration, the SEC has launched "Project Crypto" and is collaborating with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to promote on-chain market infrastructure and harmonize crypto regulation. The SEC has recently clarified which digital assets are securities and which are not, and is advancing an innovative exemption mechanism for "tokenized listed securities," while studying how on-chain trading systems can fit within existing regulatory frameworks.Additionally, Paul Atkins emphasized that the SEC will reduce "over-disclosure" and regulatory burdens, promote "Make IPOs Great Again" reforms, including lowering compliance costs for listed companies, increasing IPO flexibility, and formally proposing to repeal the climate disclosure rules introduced under the previous administration. The future of U.S. capital markets should be built on a "free market and innovation-driven" foundation, where the regulator's role is to provide clear rules and legal certainty, not to suppress technological development.

Odaily Odaily News Gate Research recently released its "April 2026 Cryptocurrency Market Review" report, indicating that the overall cryptocurrency market saw a volatile upward trend in April, with total market capitalization significantly higher than in March. BTC and ETH ETF trading volumes maintained high volatility overall. The report shows continued divergence in activity across major public chain ecosystems. Solana's daily transaction volume remained in the range of approximately 90 million to 110 million transactions, maintaining its leading position.Regarding trending sectors, the report notes that Pokemon TCG RWA has become one of the fastest-growing on-chain RWA sub-sectors, entering a second explosive growth phase in April. Major trading platforms saw monthly trading volumes exceed $220 million, with weekly revenue briefly approaching $6 million, setting new historical records. Meanwhile, Aave experienced its most severe liquidity crisis ever in April, with TVL outflows reaching tens of billions of dollars within a few days and net outflows exceeding $9 billion for the entire month.In terms of fundraising and security incidents, the Web3 industry completed 51 financing rounds in April, totaling approximately $834 million, with capital further concentrating on leading financial and infrastructure tracks. Among these, Payward ranked first for the month with a $200 million financing round. On the security front, Web3 security incidents in April resulted in losses of approximately $306 million, a month-over-month increase of about 858%, primarily driven by a single cross-chain infrastructure attack on Kelp DAO worth approximately $293 million. The report suggests that against the backdrop of a recovering market, on-chain activity and capital liquidity are both increasing simultaneously. However, the security risks associated with cross-chain infrastructure and high-leverage protocols remain worthy of continued attention.
