New SEC Chairman Sworn In, Expected to Lead Crypto-Friendly SEC

Paul Atkins has been officially sworn in as the 34th chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission. His appointment, confirmed by the US Senate, signals a shift towards a more crypto-friendly SEC under the Biden administration. Atkins, a former SEC commissioner, expressed gratitude for the trust placed in him to lead the agency. His tenure is anticipated to focus on facilitating capital formation, maintaining fair markets, and protecting investors. With financial disclosures revealing significant crypto investments, including in Anchorage Digital and Securitize, Atkins is set to decide on over 70 crypto-related exchange-traded fund applications this year. The recent surge in ETF filings reflects issuers' eagerness to test the new SEC leadership's stance on crypto products. This development marks a departure from the enforcement actions taken by the previous SEC chair, Gary Gensler, indicating a more favorable regulatory environment for the crypto industry.
