Atkins Ushers in Crypto Regulatory Overhaul

The SEC’s shift under Atkins is expected to bolster crypto markets, attracting institutional capital and increasing liquidity. Market participants welcome reduced regulatory uncertainty.

Market participants engaging with this technology deserve clear regulatory rules of the road. Innovation has been stifled for the last several years due to market and regulatory uncertainty that unfortunately the SEC has fostered. — Paul Atkins, Chairman, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
