In the latest roundtable on cryptocurrencies for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)?
In a keynote speech at the most recent discussion on cryptocurrencies for the SEC, Paul Atkins commented on the committee's role in cryptocurrency policy. He identified three key areas for regulatory focus: issuance, custody, and trading.
Compared to his recent appearance in the discussion round in late April, Atkins provided insight into his ambitious agenda for cryptocurrencies. With these priorities, it seems that the SEC will initiate a real shift in cryptocurrency policy in the United States.
Paul Atkins' plans for the Securities and Exchange Commission
Earlier today, the SEC hosted its fourth discussion on cryptocurrencies, which centered around tokenization. Its agenda had been announced for several weeks, and the committee published the full statements from several members.
Hester "the mother of cryptocurrencies" Peirce was enthusiastic, Caroline Crenshaw expressed her usual doubts, and SEC Chairman Paul Atkins delivered a keynote speech:
"For the United States to be the 'capital of cryptocurrencies on the planet' as envisioned by President Trump, the committee must keep pace with innovation. Rules and regulations designed for off-chain securities may be incompatible or unnecessary for on-chain assets and hinder the growth of blockchain technology," he claimed. $BTC $BTC
