#CryptoRoundTableRemarks

The latest crypto roundtable gathered industry leaders and regulators to address the evolving landscape of digital assets. SEC Chair Paul Atkins signaled a major policy shift, moving away from “regulation by enforcement” toward clearer, functional rules for crypto markets. Key topics included expanding institutional custody options, providing legal clarity on which crypto assets may not be classified as securities, and fostering innovation through updated regulations. While some commissioners championed tokenization and innovation, others urged caution to avoid regulatory favoritism. Participants agreed that balanced frameworks are essential to protect investors without stifling growth. Optimism was high for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and real-world asset tokenization, with AI and Layer 2 solutions seen as future drivers. The consensus: collaboration between regulators and the industry is crucial for sustainable crypto progress
