Paul S. Atkins, Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), issued a strong statement this week in support of the latest crypto policy framework released by the President’s Working Group (PWG). He called the document a major step toward regulatory clarity and emphasized its alignment with President Trump’s vision to make the United States the hub of the global crypto economy.

Atkins praised the PWG report as a “balanced framework” that enables regulatory oversight without stifling innovation. In his view, it not only protects investors but also reinforces the U.S. financial market’s leadership on the global stage.

Trump’s Role and the Future of Crypto Regulation

Atkins also highlighted President Trump’s proactive approach to digital assets, noting that it stands in stark contrast to the previous administration. “Thankfully, we now have a president who gets it and is leading the way,” Atkins stated.

He confirmed his intent to work closely with SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce and other members of the agency’s crypto task force to further develop clear and forward-thinking policies for digital assets.

The PWG report calls for stronger cooperation between federal agencies — including the SEC, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), and others — to create a unified and understandable regulatory framework. According to Atkins, the SEC plans to develop innovative and sustainable rules that will support industry growth while addressing emerging risks.

White House: America Must Lead the Blockchain Era

The White House has formally urged federal regulators to begin implementing the PWG’s recommendations. In an official statement, it framed the report as a roadmap to launch “a golden age of crypto” and secure America’s leadership in blockchain and digital finance.

The report urges agencies to:

  • Facilitate trading of digital assets at the federal level

  • Establish clear rules for registration, custody, and recordkeeping

  • Accelerate approval of new financial products without excessive bureaucracy

  • Clarify which banking functions are permitted regarding stablecoins and blockchain

This push comes shortly after President Trump signed the first-ever congressional law regulating stablecoins in the U.S. The new legislation outlines a framework for dollar-backed stablecoins, which supporters say will pave the way for their mainstream adoption in traditional finance.

While some lawmakers have raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest — especially regarding the Trump family’s ties to companies like World Liberty Financial, which has launched its own token and stablecoin — the move has been broadly welcomed by the crypto industry.
