SEC Chair Paul Atkins Pledges To Keep Crypto Innovation On U.S. Soil
SEC Chair Paul Atkins has reaffirmed his commitment to fostering cryptocurrency innovation within the United States. In a recent X post, Atkins emphasized the importance of ensuring that the next wave of financial advancements originates domestically, rather than abroad. "We will make sure the next chapter of financial innovation is written right here in America," he declared.
The SEC's newly launched "Project Crypto" initiative aims to modernize securities regulations to accommodate blockchain-based financial markets. Atkins warned against complacency, stating, "The SEC will not stand idly by and watch innovations develop overseas while our capital markets remain stagnant." This MOVE signals a potential shift toward more crypto-friendly policies under his leadership.
