#CryptoRoundTableRemarks

This morning, the SEC held its fourth roundtable discussion on cryptocurrency, focusing on asset tokenization. The program was announced a few weeks ago, and the Commission has released full statements from several members. This discussion marks the second time Paul Atkins has participated in a roundtable discussion on cryptocurrency since becoming Chairman of the SEC. However, today’s appearance is different. While his speech in April was brief, today’s keynote address is much more comprehensive. Atkins' remarks not only focused on asset tokenization but also provided an overview of his cryptocurrency policy. In his keynote speech at the SEC's latest cryptocurrency roundtable discussion, Paul Atkins commented on the Commission's role in cryptocurrency policy. He identified three key areas that regulation focuses on: issuance, custody, and trading.
