Paul Atkins, the new Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), recently stated in his inauguration speech that he is committed to building a "reasonable, coherent, and principled" regulatory framework for digital assets. He emphasized the desire to make the United States the "safest and most ideal center for cryptocurrency activities in the world."
In parallel, exchange executives revealed that several sovereign wealth funds are significantly increasing their holdings of Bitcoin, indicating that crypto assets are gradually gaining recognition from mainstream capital.
Viewpoint: The shift in regulatory direction is expected to inject long-term confidence into the market, and the trend of "institutionalization" in the crypto industry is accelerating.
