Paul Atkins

Following U.S. President Donald Trump’s appointment of Paul Atkins as the new head of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) last week, the focus now turns to digital asset regulation. 
SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce is urging the incoming government to reform the crypto sector, particularly addressing regulatory bottlenecks. 
Peirce highlighted that the digital asset industry suffers from a lack of essential services, such as financial and legal support, which hampers its growth. She called for the government to implement policies that foster development and encourage investment in this promising sector. 
The new government needs to establish a clear regulatory framework for this emerging industry, Peirce stressed. This would involve defining the role of regulatory bodies and setting market expectations. 
The SEC proposed collaboration with the private sector to assess current systems and recommend necessary adjustments. 
In an interview with Fox Business, Peirce said, “We need to work with all stakeholders in the crypto space to evaluate the application of existing rules and suggest necessary changes. This effort should be collaborative and transparent to ensure full participation. I believe we can make significant progress on this in a short time.” 
Peirce also praised newly appointed SEC chair Paul Atkins, emphasizing his ability to efficiently and effectively lead the government in solving these issues. She expressed no surprise over the resignation of Gary Gensler following the government transition. 
Peirce has yet to comment on the ongoing legal case with Ripple but noted that the prolonged legal proceedings, which began in 2020, represent a costly and ineffective approach to regulation.
