#CryptoRoundTableRemarks
At the May 12 SEC Crypto Task Force Roundtable, Chairman Paul Atkins unveiled plans for a comprehensive regulatory framework for digital assets, aiming to position the U.S. as the "crypto capital of the planet." Key initiatives include clear guidelines for token issuance, custody, and trading, moving away from enforcement-led approaches. Commissioners Crenshaw and Uyeda emphasized the potential of tokenization to modernize capital markets, advocating for transparency and innovation. Industry leaders from BlackRock, Fidelity, and Nasdaq participated, highlighting the convergence of traditional finance and decentralized technologies. This marks a significant shift towards structured crypto regulation in the U.S
