First Speech by Paul Atkins as SEC Chairman to Lay Foundations for Oversight Reform

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced on April 23 via its official account on the social platform X that Chairman Paul Atkins will give his first remarks as chairman during the upcoming roundtable on cryptocurrency custody.

The high-profile event, titled “Meet Your Custodian: Key Considerations for Cryptocurrency Custody,” will take place on April 25 at the SEC headquarters in Washington D.C., as part of the SEC’s ongoing Crypto Working Group efforts to clarify digital asset regulation.

The event will also feature opening remarks from Commissioners Mark Uyeda, Caroline Crenshaw, and Hester Peirce, as well as a variety of panelists from major firms such as Fireblocks, Fidelity Digital Assets, Anchorage Digital Bank, Kraken, and Copper Technologies.

Legal experts and veteran regulators from institutions such as Georgetown Law and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP will join to assess the regulatory landscape. The roundtable, which is open for in-person attendance with registration, will also be streamed online without the need for registration. Panelists and moderators are expected to delve into how evolving custody rules intersect with federal securities laws and what that means for the future of cryptocurrency regulation.
