Paul Atkins promotes a custody regulatory framework

SEC Chairman Paul S. Atkins is pushing for clear digital asset regulations. In a new statement, he welcomed the recommendations of the President’s Working Group (PWG). These reflect months of interagency cooperation focused on crypto policy.

Atkins believes regulations can encourage innovation rather than curb it. He says the US must lead the world in digital asset development to protect investors and maintain global leadership.

New Crypto Playbook

The PWG report provides an overview of the crypto monitoring roadmap. It encourages collaboration between federal agencies such as the SEC and CFTC. Atkins confirmed that the SEC will continue to create new rules based on existing laws. He also pledged to support future laws in Congress.

Atkins thanked President Trump for supporting the crypto industry. He said that past administrations lack this vision. “President Trump thanks the good,” he said, adding that unified actions have been delayed for a long time. The proposed framework is designed to protect financial stability and provide a secure path for cryptographic adoption. It also requires greater transparency and increased investor protection.

Innovation with guardrails

Atkins said innovation and safety must work together. The goal is to help entrepreneurs succeed. Without creating a crack that allows you to slip through fraud and financial risks. Instead of lagging behind technology, he pushed smarter adaptable rules that grow with technology.

Atkins also pointed out future collaborations. He will work closely with SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce and the agency’s Cryptographic Task Force. Build smart, adaptive policies that support innovation while closing the regulatory gaps that still exist.

The US aims to lead the global crypto race

The message is clear. America wants to lead the crypto revolution. Atkins reiterated the President’s recent calls to the global system for implementing American technology.

He said the PWG report is a milestone moment and will provide the crypto market with “road rules” that have been missing for a long time. With regulations in place, Atkins believes the United States can become the world’s safest and most dynamic crypto hub.
