In the latest roundtable on digital currencies for the Securities and Exchange Commission?

In a keynote speech at the latest discussion round on digital currencies for the SEC, Paul Atkins commented on the role of the committee in digital currency policy. He identified three main areas for regulatory focus: issuance, custody, and trading.

Compared to his recent appearance in the discussion round in late April, Atkins provided insights into his ambitious agenda for digital currencies. With these priorities, it seems that the SEC will make a real shift in digital currency policy in the United States.

Paul Atkins' plans for the Securities and Exchange Commission

Earlier today, the SEC hosted the fourth discussion on digital currencies, which centered around tokenization. Its agenda had been announced for several weeks, and the committee published full statements from several members.

Hester "the mother of digital currencies" Peirce was enthusiastic, Carolyn Crenshaw expressed her usual doubts, and SEC Chairman Paul Atkins delivered a keynote speech:

"For the United States to be 'the capital of digital currencies 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
