At the roundtable of the Crypto Task Force on May 12, 2025, SEC Chairman Paul Atkins announced a significant shift in cryptocurrency regulation in the USA. Instead of a punitive approach, the SEC plans to develop a clear and rational system of rules. Atkins emphasized that the priority will be to create a regulatory framework for the issuance, storage, and trading of crypto assets that will promote innovation while simultaneously limiting the activities of unscrupulous market participants.
This shift could be a turning point for the crypto industry, which has long suffered from uncertainty and harsh measures from previous SEC leadership. According to Atkins, the new rules will foster the development of blockchain technologies and strengthen the USA's position as a global hub for crypto innovations. Experts believe this could positively impact cryptocurrency prices, particularly Bitcoin, which is already approaching $109,000. However, the success of the reform will depend on how quickly the SEC can implement the promised changes.
