PaulAtkins

Washington, May 19, 2025 – Paul S. Atkins, Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), delivered a clear message at the SEC Speaks conference: the regulator won’t shy away from technological innovation, including cryptocurrency markets. On the contrary – it’s ready to engage with them openly and constructively.
🔹 “The SEC must not fear innovation. We should embrace and promote it,” Atkins said at the opening of his speech. According to him, it’s high time the Commission moved beyond years of passivity and confusing decisions around crypto assets.

No More “Ostrich Policy”: A New Approach to Crypto Regulation
Atkins did not mince words when criticizing the SEC’s previous stance. He pointed out that for a long time, the Commission stuck its head in the sand, hoping crypto would simply vanish. Then came the opposite extreme: regulating through enforcement, often with no clear guidance. “Shoot first, ask questions later,” is how Atkins described it.
Now, he wants a reset: greater transparency, open dialogue with the market, and clear rules of the game. He has already directed SEC staff to start drafting proposals for crypto-specific regulations and trading policies.

One Roof for Crypto and Traditional Securities
A key part of Atkins’ vision is to allow SEC-registered entities to custody and trade both securities and non-securities under one roof. This move, he says, could streamline operations and reduce costs for investors, while helping to bring crypto assets into a regulated federal framework.
Another big shift is the restructuring of the SEC’s FinHub – its innovation-focused division dealing with blockchain, AI, and other emerging technologies. Rather than keeping it as a separate unit, Atkins wants it integrated across the agency’s broader structure, embedding innovation into SEC’s culture itself.

Spotlight on the Bloated CAT System
Another major talking point was the Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT), a system that collects vast amounts of trading data from U.S. markets. Its operational costs have now ballooned to $250 million a year, a burden ultimately carried by investors.
Atkins has ordered a full review of the system – including its cost structure, data collection scope, and reporting requirements – to determine if it’s still fit for purpose.

Conclusion: The SEC Is Changing – Innovation Is a Strength, Not a Threat
Atkins closed his speech by repeating his key message: Markets evolve, and the SEC must evolve with them. No more standing still – the Commission’s new role is to support innovation while ensuring investor protection through clear and consistent rules.
🗨️ “We shouldn’t be telling markets to stand still. We should be enabling them to grow – responsibly, but freely,” Atkins concluded.

Tân Chủ tịch SEC Paul Atkins công bố tầm nhìn mới, hứa hẹn một SEC thân thiện và cởi mở hơn với crypto, trái ngược hoàn toàn với thời Gary Gensler. Liệu đây có phải bước ngoặt cho ngành tài sản số? Hãy cùng phân tích chi tiết.

Paul Atkins: Tầm Nhìn Mới Cho Crypto Tại SEC

Ngày 12/05, tại hội nghị bàn tròn lần 4 của lực lượng đặc nhiệm crypto, Chủ tịch SEC #PaulAtkins – người được Tổng thống Donald Trump bổ nhiệm – đã công bố định hướng mới. Thay vì cách tiếp cận cứng rắn và cưỡng chế của Gary Gensler, Atkins cam kết xây dựng chính sách minh bạch, sử dụng công cụ ban hành quy định, diễn giải luật và miễn trừ để hỗ trợ thị trường. Ông nhấn mạnh: “Đây là kỷ nguyên mới tại SEC. Chúng tôi sẽ thiết lập tiêu chuẩn phù hợp, không dựa trên hành động cưỡng chế đơn lẻ.” Atkins, một người ủng hộ crypto, công nhận tiềm năng của blockchain phi tập trung và mong muốn hợp tác với nhà lập pháp để tạo khung pháp lý thúc đẩy đổi mới.

Dưới thời Gensler, SEC khởi kiện nhiều công ty crypto lớn, nhưng phần lớn cáo buộc bị hủy bỏ khi ông rời nhiệm sở vào tháng 1/2025. Atkins chỉ trích: “SEC từng tỏ ra sẵn sàng đàm phán, nhưng đó chỉ là lời hứa suông, không điều chỉnh biểu mẫu nào cho công nghệ mới như blockchain.”

Cải Tổ Quy Định: Hỗ Trợ Đổi Mới Crypto

Atkins cam kết cải tổ toàn diện:

Lưu ký tài sản: Điều chỉnh quy định để quỹ và cố vấn đầu tư tự lưu ký tài sản số trong một số điều kiện.
Khung pháp lý: Xem xét lại quy định cho công ty môi giới đặc biệt và phân loại tài sản số nào là chứng khoán.
Miễn trừ có điều kiện: Cấp miễn trừ cho các dự án thử nghiệm sản phẩm mới không tương thích với quy định hiện hành.

Những thay đổi này nhằm khuyến khích đổi mới, giúp các công ty crypto hoạt động hợp pháp và minh bạch hơn.


Token Hóa: Cách Mạng Tài Chính Tất Yếu

Atkins nhấn mạnh token hóa chứng khoán là bước tiến tự nhiên, so sánh với sự phát triển của âm thanh số – từ đĩa than đến streaming – mang lại lợi ích cho người dùng và kinh tế. Token hóa tài sản (RWA) đang là cầu nối giữa tài chính truyền thống và blockchain. BlackRock (BUIDL) và Franklin Templeton (BENJI) đã ra mắt quỹ trái phiếu kho bạc Mỹ token hóa, trong khi Robinhood cân nhắc blockchain riêng để giao dịch chứng khoán Mỹ tại châu Âu dưới dạng token. Theo rwa.xyz, giá trị RWA on-chain đạt 22,6 tỷ USD, tăng 7,6% trong 30 ngày, chưa kể stablecoin (231 tỷ USD, với USDT 150,6 tỷ USD).

Tác Động Đến Thị Trường Crypto

Sự kiện này mang lại nhiều tín hiệu tích cực:

Tăng niềm tin: Dòng tiền quỹ crypto đạt 3,4 tỷ USD tuần qua, ETF Bitcoin hút 1,8 tỷ USD, dự báo tích lũy 330 tỷ USD vào Bitcoin đến 2029.
Thúc đẩy RWA: Token hóa tài sản có thể đạt 50 tỷ USD trong 1-2 năm tới, với sự tham gia của các ông lớn.

Triển Vọng Tương Lai

Nếu Atkins thực hiện cam kết trong 1-2 năm tới, #SEC có thể trở thành “người bạn” của ngành crypto, thúc đẩy đổi mới và thu hút dòng vốn tổ chức. Tuy nhiên, sự hoài nghi từ thời Gensler khiến cộng đồng thận trọng – liệu đây có phải lời hứa suông? Việc token hóa tài sản mở rộng cũng đòi hỏi khung pháp lý rõ ràng để tránh rủi ro rửa tiền và gian lận.

Kết Luận: SEC Sẽ Đưa Crypto Vào Kỷ Nguyên Mới?

Paul Atkins mở ra kỷ nguyên mới tại SEC với cách tiếp cận thân thiện, hỗ trợ crypto qua cải tổ quy định và thúc đẩy token hóa tài sản (RWA 22,6 tỷ USD). Với tiềm năng lớn nhưng cũng nhiều thách thức, nhà đầu tư nên theo dõi sát để nắm bắt cơ hội và tránh rủi ro từ sự thay đổi chính sách.

Cảnh báo rủi ro: Đầu tư crypto mang rủi ro cao do biến động giá và bất ổn pháp lý. Hãy cân nhắc kỹ trước khi tham gia.

Paul Atkins has unveiled fresh plans at the SEC Crypto Roundtable to turn the US into the crypto capital of the world.
US SEC Chair Paul Atkins has revealed ambitious plans to create a rational regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies under his tenure.

Atkins delivered a keynote speech at the SEC Crypto Roundtable, confirming the start of a "new day" for the securities watchdog.
Paul Atkins Unveils Regulatory Direction at SEC Crypto Roundtable
The SEC's new chair, Paul Atkins, has announced plans to change the direction of regulatory enforcement by the securities agency.

According to a keynote address at the SEC Crypto Roundtable on Tokenization, Atkins is committed to advancing a clear regulatory framework, with the goal of making the U.S. the crypto capital of the world.
Going forward, the new SEC chair says the commission will abandon its 'shoot-first-and-ask-questions-later approach' in favor of crystal clear regulations.

The roundtable meeting comes on the heels of an SEC meeting with BlackRock that revolved around tokenization and staking. During the meeting, he said:
It's a new day in the SEC. Policy making will no longer result from ad hoc enforcement actions.
Atkins noted at the SEC Crypto Roundtable that his tenure on the commission will prioritize stronger rules for cryptocurrencies in three major areas – issuance, custody, and trading.

Amid signs of an avalanche of regulations, the SEC is considering a possible tokenization exemption for cryptocurrency service providers.
New Rules for Cryptocurrency Custody and Trading
As the SEC Crypto Roundtable gets underway, Paul Atkins’ speech hints at a wave of new regulation set to change the cryptocurrency landscape.

For starters, the SEC has the issuance of crypto assets firmly in its sights and will be enacting new regulations to provide clarity.
Second, Atkins noted that the SEC will provide regulatory clarity for a qualified custodian while committing to update the custody rules.

Additionally, Paul Atkins notes that a broker-dealer's rules may need to be updated in light of perceived restrictions on custodial services.
"Additionally, it may be necessary to repeal and replace the special-purpose broker-dealer framework with a more robust system," Atkins said.
Finally, Paul Atkins revealed plans to improve existing rules around trading cryptocurrencies during the SEC Crypto Roundtable.

Going forward, broker-dealers will offer securities and non-securities in a single super app.
Atkins notes that the ATS regulatory regime will accommodate cryptocurrencies in the near future.

In his SEC Crypto Roundtable keynote address, the SEC Chair hinted at the potential for cryptocurrencies to be traded on national securities exchanges.
Since Paul Atkins took over, excitement among market participants has been at an all-time high, with the SEC wrapping up its long-running lawsuits against service providers.

The Commission has filed a settlement agreement letter in the Ripple SEC case, bringing the five-year-old case to a close.

Coinbase’s Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal has voiced strong support for Paul Atkins, the incoming U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chair nominee, who has pledged to prioritize regulatory clarity in the crypto industry. Grewal welcomed Atkins’ stance, describing it as a much-needed shift that could benefit both innovation and financial markets in the United States.T he remarks came after a Senate Banking Committee hearing evaluating Atkins' nomination, where the nominee emphasized his commitment to establishing a transparent regulatory environment for digital assets. Grewal, who attended the hearing in person, highlighted key statements made by Atkins and Comptroller of the Currency nominee Jonathan Gould on the social media platform X.
SEC’s New Direction: Crypto at the Forefront
Atkins, who has been a long-time advocate for free markets, stressed that his leadership would prioritize providing structured and workable regulations for cryptocurrencies. He believes that clearer guidelines will help unlock U.S.-based innovation, open new markets for investors, and solidify America's global leadership in financial technology.
Grewal acknowledged Atkins' commitment, stating:
“Getting workable rules and regulatory clarity for crypto will unlock U.S.-based innovation, new markets for investors, and benefit American consumers and America’s position as a global technological and economic leader.”
Ending Debanking & Strengthening Financial Inclusion
Another major point of discussion at the hearing was the controversial practice of debanking, where crypto-related companies and underserved communities have struggled to access banking services. Both Atkins and Gould expressed a firm stance on ending this practice and returning the SEC to its foundational mission—protecting investors and fostering fair markets.
Grewal commended this approach, stating that Atkins’s leadership would be a “breath of fresh air” at the SEC, promising a more open and collaborative regulatory environment. He also expressed anticipation for Atkins's official confirmation by the Senate.
Atkins's Vision for the SEC Under the Trump Administration
Atkins linked his focus on crypto regulations to broader economic goals aligned with the Trump administration’s vision. He stated:
“A top priority of my chairmanship will be to work with my fellow commissioners and Congress to provide a firm regulatory foundation for digital assets through a rational, coherent, and principled approach.”
He also reaffirmed his commitment to ensuring that the U.S. remains the best and most secure place for investments:
“Should I be confirmed, my goal will be to ensure that the United States is the best and most secure place in the world to do business and for Americans to invest their hard-earned dollars to save and provide for their future.”
Industry Response: Positive Outlook for Crypto Regulation
Coinbase has been at the forefront of pushing for clearer crypto regulations in the U.S. and has often clashed with the SEC over its past enforcement-first approach. With Atkins’ nomination, the crypto industry sees renewed hope for a regulatory framework that encourages growth instead of stifling innovation.
As Atkins awaits confirmation, crypto advocates and businesses are closely watching whether his leadership will indeed bring the long-awaited regulatory clarity that the industry has been calling for.
