BlockBeats News, June 4th, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released a draft of its 2026-2030 Strategic Plan and opened it for public comment, revealing that under Chairman Paul Atkins's leadership, digital assets, capital formation, and technological modernization will be the future focus areas. The draft emphasizes that the SEC will aim to establish "clear and workable" regulatory rules to support responsible innovation while protecting investors. It clearly states that digital assets and distributed ledger technology will require a more rational, consistent, and principle-based regulatory approach. This statement is seen as one of the clearest signals from the SEC to date, indicating that the regulatory agency is seeking to provide a specialized regulatory framework for the crypto industry, rather than relying solely on existing securities laws and enforcement actions. Furthermore, the SEC plans to modernize the disclosure regime, expand access to private markets, and create new funding channels to support the development of startups and small businesses, aiming to enhance market efficiency. In terms of enforcement, the SEC proposes to adjust its regulatory focus, concentrating more resources on combating fraud, market manipulation, and overtly illegal activities, while reducing reliance on temporary enforcement actions.

Jinse Finance reported that on June 4, Compass Point analyst Ed Engel stated that over the past 30 days, 26% of Bitcoin sell orders came from investors who purchased the token when the Bitcoin price was above $90,000. He pointed out that these top buyers had shown resilience throughout the bear market, but as Bitcoin approached a new cycle low, they ultimately capitulated. This makes him more convinced that the Bitcoin bear market has entered its late stage. On Thursday, the Bitcoin price briefly fell below $62,000 before rebounding above $64,200.
