#CryptoRoundTableRemarks Recent comments from the roundtable on cryptocurrency, particularly from the SEC's Cryptocurrency Working Group meetings in May 2025, suggest a potential shift towards clearer regulation. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins emphasized the transition from prioritizing enforcement actions to establishing reasonable rules for the issuance, custody, and trading of cryptocurrency, aiming to make the U.S. a "cryptocurrency capital."

Key discussion points included the tokenization of assets and whether existing regulations are sufficient to address securities on the chain. Commissioner Crenshaw expressed concerns about the scalability of public blockchains for complex financial instruments and questioned the SEC's role in supporting specific blockchain technologies.

Overall, these remarks suggest a shift towards providing greater regulatory clarity to foster innovation while protecting investors in the evolving cryptocurrency landscape.
