#CryptoRoundTableRemarks At the recent #CryptoRoundTableRemarks, SEC Chair Paul Atkins outlined a transformative agenda for digital asset regulation, emphasizing a shift from ad hoc enforcement to clear, rule-based frameworks. Key initiatives include developing rational guidelines for the issuance, custody, and trading of crypto assets, and revising custody rules to accommodate self-custody and modern custodial solutions. Atkins highlighted the need for Commission-level actions to replace inconsistent staff guidance, aiming to provide regulatory clarity and stability for the growing digital asset sector. This approach aligns with the broader efforts to position the U.S. as a leader in the global crypto economy. (Hunton Andrews Kurth, Reuters, Axios, Sec)
