The new chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States (SEC), Paul Atkins, has affirmed that his top priority is to establish a clear legal framework for digital assets.
Paul Atkins – Chairman of the 34th SEC of the United States"As the head of the SEC, I confidently assert that this is a new beginning. It is time for the SEC to put an end to its arrogance and return to the core mission entrusted by Congress: to protect investors, ensure fair, orderly, and efficient markets, and to promote capital formation," Atkins emphasized.
Atkins' statements reflect the views he expressed during the Senate hearing last month, where he emphasized that laying the groundwork for a legal framework for digital assets is a top priority.
As a long-time supporter of cryptocurrency, Atkins served as a commissioner of the SEC from 2002 to 2008 under former President George W. Bush, after which he founded the financial consulting firm Patomak Global Partners. He also served as an advisor to Trump during his first term as a member of an economic advisory group.
With Atkins sworn in as chairman, the SEC is expected to continue to take a friendlier approach to crypto oversight, contrary to the views of former Chairman Gary Gensler.
Since Trump took office and Gensler left, the SEC has implemented measures that reflect a new direction. A prime example is the establishment of a cryptocurrency task force, which has conducted roundtable discussions to clarify regulations in the field of digital assets.
