Since the ICO market opened its craze in 2017, the SEC has become more and more concerned about cryptocurrencies. As for the Howey test and other standards, the SEC believes that some tokens should belong to securities and need to be included in the SEC's regulatory scope.

This means that the SEC should have a deeper understanding of the cryptocurrency market. With the rise of cryptocurrency derivatives such as Bitcoin ETFs in recent years, it is hoped that the voices of such products will pass higher and higher. Although many similar applications have been rejected, it is believed that in this process, the SEC's understanding of cryptocurrencies will gradually deepen, eventually giving the market a more rational answer.
