[Coin World] After taking office, new SEC Chairman Paul S. Atkins is promoting regulatory transformation, advocating for "common-sense regulation" and "support for innovation." The SEC has recently withdrawn several cryptocurrency enforcement cases, clearly stating that it does not consider memes, PoW tokens, and others as securities, and has approved Bitcoin and Ethereum Spot ETFs. Atkins supports establishing clear issuance, custody, and trading rules for crypto assets, encouraging DeFi innovation, and taking a lenient stance towards miners, nodes, and stake services. Future policy directions include accelerating the approval of crypto ETFs, clarifying securities identification standards, and promoting legislation to clarify regulatory vesting. This series of policy adjustments has boosted market sentiment, but the pace of policy implementation and external factors still carry uncertainty.
