On 25 April 2025, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) hosted its first major Crypto Task Force roundtable. Headlining the Washington DC event, the newly appointed SEC Chair Paul Atkins said, “The market itself seems to indicate that the current framework badly needs attention.”

“This is important work as entrepreneurs across the United States are harnessing blockchain technology to modernize aspects of our financial system,” said Atkins. “I expect huge benefits from this market innovation for efficiency, cost reduction, transparency, and risk mitigation.”

He further insisted, “Market participants engaging with this technology deserve clear regulatory rules of the road. Innovation has been stifled for the last several years due to market and regulatory uncertainty that unfortunately the SEC has fostered.”

The discussions at the roundtable also marked a symbolic departure from the enforcement-heavy posture of his predecessor, Gary Gensler.
