Remarks at the Economic Club of New York
Why this matters
This is a policy speech by the SEC Chairman articulating the agency's strategic direction under the 'ACT strategy' (Advance, Clarify, Transform). It contains multiple regulatory signals: modernization of digital asset frameworks and Project Crypto; SEC-CFTC MOU on jurisdictional clarity; proposed IPO and filer status reforms; rescission of climate disclosure rules; and reorientation of enforcement away from 'regulation by enforcement.' While not a final rule or binding obligation, it represents significant policy intent affecting capital markets participants, crypto innovators, and public companies. The speech is informational in nature (urgency: null) but carries strategic weight for regulated entities.
