U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Paul Atkins has emphasized that creating a clear regulatory framework for cryptocurrency is now a “key priority” for the agency.
Speaking at a recent financial policy forum, Atkins stressed the importance of balancing innovation with investor protection as the crypto sector grows into a multi-trillion-dollar market. He stated that the SEC is working to develop comprehensive guidelines for digital assets, including rules for exchanges, token issuers, stablecoins, and decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms.
“Digital assets are here to stay. Our responsibility is to provide the clarity and oversight needed for innovation to thrive while ensuring market integrity,” Atkins said.
The SEC’s renewed focus comes amid record institutional adoption, surging spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF volumes, and bipartisan calls for crypto-friendly legislation in Congress. Market analysts say this could mark a pivotal shift in U.S. regulatory policy, potentially boosting investor confidence and attracting global blockchain companies.
