SEC Moves Away From Regulation-By-Enforcement Strategy
Atkins’ recent interviews come shortly after he reaffirmed his commitment to moving the SEC away from its previous regulation-by-enforcement strategy concerning the blockchain industry.
In an August 11 post on X, SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce commended the agency for dropping its case against the crypto platform Ripple.
“A positive development for numerous reasons, including that minds once engaged in litigation can now focus on establishing a clear regulatory framework for crypto,” Peirce noted.
“Commissioner Peirce is correct. With this chapter concluded, we now have a chance to redirect our efforts from the courtroom to the policy drafting table,” Atkins remarked. “Our emphasis should be on creating a clear regulatory framework that encourages innovation while safeguarding investors.”
In summary, Atkins’ message is straightforward: the SEC is transitioning from legal battles against crypto to formulating regulations that could solidify America’s status as the leading global digital asset center.
