#CryptoRoundTableRemarks New SEC Chair to Speak at Cryptocurrency Roundtable as Policy Shift Approaches.

The newly sworn-in SEC chair is set to make his highly anticipated debut with a speech that could initiate profound reforms and redefine the future of cryptocurrency regulation.

Paul Atkins' first speech as SEC chair to lay the groundwork for oversight reform.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced on April 23 via its official account on the social platform X that Chair Paul Atkins will give his first remarks as chair during the upcoming roundtable on cryptocurrency custody.

The high-profile event, titled "Meet Your Custodian: Key Considerations for Cryptocurrency Custody," will take place on April 25 at the SEC headquarters in Washington D.C., as part of the SEC's ongoing Crypto Working Group efforts to clarify digital asset regulation.

The event will also feature opening remarks from commissioners Mark Uyeda, Caroline Crenshaw, and Hester Peirce, along with a variety of panelists from major firms such as Fireblocks, Fidelity Digital Assets, Anchorage Digital Bank, Kraken, and Copper Technologies.

Legal experts and veteran regulators from institutions like Georgetown Law and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP will come together to assess the regulatory landscape. The roundtable, which is open for in-person attendance with registration, will also be streamed online without registration required. Panelists and moderators are expected to delve into how evolving custody rules intersect with federal securities laws and what that means for the future of cryptocurrency regulation.
