During the recent SEC Crypto Roundtable, Paul Atkins discussed the Commission's involvement in shaping crypto policy, emphasizing three main regulatory areas: issuance, custody, and trading.

Compared to his previous appearance in April, Atkins presented a more detailed outlook on his ambitious crypto agenda. With a focus on these priorities, it appears that the SEC is poised to significantly impact US crypto policy.

At the SEC's fourth Crypto Roundtable, which focused on tokenization, Atkins highlighted the importance of adapting regulations to the evolving digital asset landscape. He stressed the need for the US to become a leading hub for crypto innovation, advocating for rules that support blockchain technology's growth.

Atkins emphasized the SEC's role in establishing suitable standards for market participants, outlining three key areas of interest: facilitating crypto firms in issuing securities contracts, revising custody rules for cryptoassets, and expanding opportunities for asset trading. His proactive approach signals a shift towards more accommodating regulations that align with the unique characteristics of the digital asset industry.
