72 Crypto ETFs Awaiting SEC Approval Amid Leadership Shift
Paul Atkins has been sworn in as the new chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, signaling a potential shift in regulatory approach for the crypto industry. The market anticipates a departure from Gary Gensler’s contentious "regulation by enforcement" strategy.
Recent months have seen tentative progress, with major exchanges receiving clearance from SEC investigations. A newly formed crypto task force aims to establish clearer rules—a move welcomed by industry participants.
Atkins prioritizes making the U.S. the premier destination for investment and business. Market participants now watch closely for decisions on 72 pending spot crypto ETF applications—a development that could significantly impact market structure and institutional participation.
