New SEC Chair Paul Atkins criticized previous enforcement-based regulation on cryptocurrencies, aiming for a more collaborative approach.
Atkins highlighted a lack of trust between the SEC and the crypto industry due to past 'head-in-the-sand' strategies.
Atkins plans to draft new digital asset rules, promote transparent interactions, and allow SEC registrants to custody both securities and non-securities.
Atkins emphasizes promoting innovation within regulatory frameworks and vows to enhance the market for investors under his leadership.
