#CryptoCPIWatch Recent comments from the roundtable meeting on cryptocurrency, particularly from the SEC's Cryptocurrency Working Group meetings in May 2025, indicate a potential shift towards clearer regulation. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins emphasized the transition from enforcement-focused actions to establishing reasonable rules for the issuance, custody, and trading of cryptocurrencies, aiming to make the United States a "cryptocurrency capital."

Key discussion points included the tokenization of assets 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 role of the SEC in advocating for specific blockchain technologies.

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