President-elect Donald #Trump has nominated Paul Atkins as the next #SEC Chairman, highlighting his support for “common sense” regulations and innovation in financial markets.
Atkins, a former #SEC Commissioner and CEO of Patomak Global Partners, has been active in crypto policy since 2017 and is known for advocating transparency and investor protection.
This marks a shift from outgoing SEC Chair Gary Gensler, who faced criticism for his strict stance on cryptocurrencies. Trump, now pro-crypto, plans to establish a national Bitcoin reserve and position the U.S. as a global leader in crypto innovation.
