SEC’s Paul Atkins Outlines Crypto Agenda at Tokenization Roundtable
SEC Commissioner Paul Atkins unveiled an ambitious crypto regulatory vision during the agency’s fourth Crypto Roundtable, emphasizing the need for rules that keep pace with blockchain innovation. The tokenization-focused event featured contrasting perspectives from Hester Peirce’s enthusiastic support to Caroline Crenshaw’s characteristic skepticism.
Atkins’ keynote stressed that outdated securities frameworks risk stifling America’s potential as the ’crypto capital of the planet’—a designation championed by former President Trump. His remarks signaled potential policy shifts as the SEC grapples with applying traditional securities laws to on-chain assets.
