SEC Chairman Paul Atkins: The Era of Clear Crypto Regulation Has Begun
Paul Atkins, Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), stated on social media that for a long time, the SEC has been at odds with new technologies and innovations, forcing many entrepreneurs and businesses to turn overseas. That era has ended.
Under President Trump, the SEC is working in collaboration with the U.S. government and congressional colleagues to provide the much-needed regulatory clarity for the digital asset market.

Paul Atkins, appointed by Trump as SEC Chairman, continues to promote crypto-friendly regulation, directly contradicting the strict enforcement strategies of his predecessor Gary Gensler, focusing on providing a clear regulatory framework for digital assets.
On the capital front, the SEC's shift in stance is expected to accelerate the return of institutional funds and crypto projects to the U.S., with exchanges, RWA, and stablecoin projects increasing compliance investments, aiming to reduce legal risks through federal clarity and attract overseas capital, while creating a favorable environment for the implementation of bills like the Clarity Act.
This shift, similar to other pro-crypto statements from the Trump administration and the previous SEC's suppression of the crypto industry, marks a significant transformation in U.S. crypto regulation from confrontation and suppression to proactive regulation and support.
Essentially, this is a regulatory change: the SEC is moving from "opposing innovation" to "providing clarity," with the mechanism being the Trump administration's policy direction directly influencing regulatory direction, accelerating the concentration of capital from overseas gray areas to the U.S. compliant market, and promoting the return of global digital asset pricing power and innovation center to the U.S.
