TradingKey - President Trump and new SEC Chair Paul S. Atkins both advocate for clear cryptocurrency regulations. A new era for the crypto market may be on the horizon.
After being appointed SEC Chair, Atkins stated that his top priority is to lay a solid foundation for digital assets.
Trump praised Atkins as the best choice for ensuring regulatory certainty in the crypto space. He emphasized that the industry needs clear regulatory policies.
Under former SEC Chair Gary Gensler, many crypto projects and exchanges, like Coinbase, Binance, and TRON, faced accusations of fraud, issuing unregistered securities, and operating unregistered exchanges. Yet, regulators failed to establish clear rules.
With Trump nominating crypto advocate Paul S. Atkins as the new SEC Chair, there's hope for an end to the confusion and uncertainty of the Gensler era. Positive regulatory policies may be on the way.
Since Trump's presidency, the SEC has made several friendly moves, such as dropping lawsuits against Ripple (XRP) and Coinbase (COIN), and repealing the DeFi broker rule.
