IoTeX Shines at Washington Policy Summit as SEC Signals Favorable Token Classification and ICO Resumption for DePIN and RWA Tokenization

COINOTAG reports that IoTeX participated in the Washington Policy Summit as chair of the Blockchain Association DePIN Working Group. The delegation met with senior policymakers, including SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, Senator Bill Harley, and Congresswoman Haley Stevens, to review crypto market structure, stablecoins, and Real World Assets (RWA).

IoTeX co-founder Jing framed the dialogue around the convergence of machine networks and AI as a driver of a new economy, stressing on-chain tokenization of DePIN and RWA to expand capital access and broaden participation while supporting stablecoins adoption.

With regulatory signals evolving, Atkins suggested most tokens on DePIN and related tools are unlikely to be securities, and ICO fundraising could resume. He also outlined future work on token classification and an innovation exemption, signaling a clearer path for compliant, innovation‑driven growth in U.S. digital currency policy.
