#CryptoRoundTableRemarks At the roundtable of the SEC Cryptocurrency Working Group, which took place on May 12, 2025, Chairman Paul Atkins announced a significant change in cryptocurrency regulations in the USA. Moving away from a policy focused on enforcement, Atkins emphasized the need for clear, rational rules regarding the issuance, storage, and trading of digital assets. He advocated for broader storage options and explained that some cryptocurrency assets might not be subject to federal securities regulations, calling for the development of appropriate exemptions and safe harbors. Commissioner Hester Peirce supported this approach, highlighting the potential of blockchain networks for asset tokenization. In contrast, Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw warned against favoring specific technologies, cautioning that it could lead to governmental biases in market dynamics.
