#CryptoRoundTableRemarks

What did Paul Atkins say in the latest roundtable on cryptocurrencies for the Securities and Exchange Commission?

In a keynote speech at the latest discussion round on cryptocurrencies for the SEC, Paul Atkins commented on the role of the commission in cryptocurrency policy. He identified three key areas for regulatory focus: issuance, custody, and trading.
