A major shift is underway in U.S. crypto regulation. With Paul Atkins taking over as SEC Chairman, the watchdog’s harsh stance on crypto might finally soften. Atkins wasted no time, pledging a clear, innovation-friendly framework to replace years of uncertainty that have stalled growth and spooked investors.
In his first major statement, Atkins slammed outdated policies and called for a flexible, modern regulatory model. He aims to prioritize Bitcoin and top cryptos, boost institutional confidence, and position the U.S. as a global leader in digital assets.
Unlike Gensler’s crackdown, Atkins promises open dialogue and clarity — and the market is watching closely.
