SEC Commissioner Mark Uyeda has issued a statement criticizing the agency's current approach to crypto filings, describing it as 'problematic.' Uyeda's comments were made in the context of a new rule regarding registration for Index-Linked Annuities and Registered Market-Value Adjustment Annuities. He also called for updating form S-1 to better accommodate the unique aspects of cryptocurrencies. This nuanced, innovation-forward approach has been welcomed by industry groups, who see it as a positive step towards ensuring both consumer protection and the thriving of innovation.
