#CryptoRoundTableRemarks Recent comments from the roundtable on cryptocurrency, particularly from the SEC's Cryptocurrency Working Group meetings in May 2025, suggest a potential shift towards clearer regulation. SEC Chair Paul Atkins emphasized the transition from prioritizing enforcement actions to establishing reasonable rules for the issuance, custody, and trading of cryptocurrencies, aiming to turn the U.S. into a "cryptocurrency capital."

Key discussion points included asset tokenization and whether existing regulations are sufficient to address on-chain securities. Commissioner Crenshaw expressed concerns about the scalability of public blockchains for complex financial instruments and questioned the SEC's role in supporting specific blockchain technologies.

Overall, these comments suggest a shift towards providing greater regulatory clarity to foster innovation while protecting investors in the evolving cryptocurrency landscape.
