#CryptoRoundTableRemarks At the SEC’s May 12, 2025, Crypto Roundtable, Chair Paul Atkins outlined a transformative regulatory agenda aimed at positioning the U.S. as the global leader in digital assets. He emphasized the need for clear, innovation-friendly rules governing the issuance, custody, and trading of crypto assets, moving away from the prior enforcement-heavy approach. Atkins highlighted that existing securities laws might not be suitable for blockchain-based assets and stressed the importance of adapting regulations to foster growth in the crypto sector. Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw contributed to the discussion by focusing on tokenization, exploring how regulatory efforts could facilitate this process. The roundtable also featured insights from Commissioner Hester Peirce, known for her pro-crypto stance. This event marks a significant shift in the SEC's approach, aiming to provide regulatory clarity and support for the burgeoning digital asset industry.
