Important organizational development has stimulated the encryption industry in recent months. In April, the SEC Enterprise Financing Department issued new employees’ data on two main fronts: First, offer guidance About how “metal currencies” can be evaluated under the current securities laws; The second, clarification The agency’s approach to Stablecoins and the conditions under which it may be subject to the regulation of federal securities.
While data at the level of employees does not bear the strength of the official rules setting, it represents a material transformation in the tone-which provides more ability to predict the participants in the market after years of organizational uncertainty.

Commissioner Peres, known to many in the industry as “Cryptomom”, plays a major role in these discussions.

Atkins, for his part, stressed the need to create “clear rules of the road” for the encryption markets. in comments In the SEC work group interview on April 25, he argued that innovation was “strangling” through the mysterious organization and the first enforcement tactics.

Democratic lawmakers ask about Trump encryption projects
Recent developments, however, have intensified the audit on the agency’s independence. Eric Trump, the son of former President Donald Trump, is It is scheduled To appear at the Token2049 conference along with the entrepreneur at Crypto Justin Sun and Zack Witkoff, co -founder of World Liberty Financial.

Atkins faces the SEC independence test
This political scrutiny predicts the challenges that Atkins may face if the Supreme Education Council is considered a preferential treatment for the policy -related digital assets.
These emerging tangles are a dangerous test of Takins just as it seeks to create a new organizational trend. While SEC’s internal momentum towards a real encryption reform, the external perceptions of political favoritism – required – can complicate the agency’s ability to act with credibility in the coming months.
If ATKINS is able to successfully balance the organizational drive with a clear commitment to neutral enforcement, SEC can regain its place as a global pioneer in the digital control of assets. But if the agency becomes intertwined in partisan differences, goodwill reforms may lose traction.
At the present time, the encryption industry is still optimistic – but it is watchful. Although it is exciting how the new world is adopted from Defi and Cryptocurrencies by the entrepreneurial family from the President of the United States, conflict of interest issues may continue and angry with very real achievements that Atkins will look at Crypto in the Supreme Education Council.
