SEC Strategic Plan Backs Digital Assets, Blockchain Growth

The US Securities and Exchange Commission has elevated digital assets to a strategic priority, calling for regulatory clarity around blockchain technology, tokenization and crypto market infrastructure through 2030. The shift is set out in the agency’s draft Strategic Plan for fiscal years 2026–2030, published Tuesday.

Alongside goals on capital formation, investor protection and agency modernization, the plan dedicates an entire objective to digital assets and distributed ledger technology. The SEC says it aims to "provide a firm regulatory foundation for digital assets and distributed ledger technologies through a rational, coherent, and principled approach." The plan acknowledges that the growth of digital assets has outpaced existing regulations and calls for greater legal certainty.
