The president of Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Paul Atkins, spoke during a hearing in the Senate on Tuesday to discuss the change of the agency on the regulation of cryptocurrencies. This occurs while the Senate negotiates the “One Big Beautiful Bill” by President Donald Trump and the Act on Engineering, which would have the federal government in massively investing in cryptocurrency.
Atkins took the floor to the Senate’s credits subcommittee on financial services and the general government, claiming that the agency would modify its regulation process concerning the crypto of “application by application” to “note and comment” for the issuance of cryptography, guard and trade. Among other things, he described how the Trump administration will reduce the police by the crypto government. Atkins has positioned this decision as offering more transparency and acting on more public contribution.
“The Commission will use its existing authorities to establish adjustment standards for market players,” said Atkins in its prepared remarks. “The approach to applying the Commission will return to the initial intention of the Congress, which consists of violation of the police of these established obligations, in particular with regard to fraud and manipulation.”
