US Senate Confirms Pro-Crypto Paul Atkins As SEC Chair

The US Senate has finally confirmed Donald Trump’s nominee, Paul Atkins, as the next US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair. This development is significant as Atkins has promised to provide regulatory clarity for the industry, which was lacking under past Chair Gary Gensler’s administration. US Senate Confirms Paul Atkins As SEC Chair In an X post , Journalist Eleanor Terrett revealed that the US Senate has confirmed Paul Atkins as the next SEC Chair. The Upper Chamber voted 52 to 44 in favor of Atkins’ nomination for the SEC role. Pro-Bitcoin and Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis also confirmed this development, sharing her excitement about Atkin’s confirmation as the SEC Chair. The Senator revealed her discussion with him about digital asset legislation and affirmed that she is confident that his leadership will bring positive change. As CoinGape reported, Paul Atkins had promised during his nomination hearing to prioritize providing regulatory clarity for the crypto industry. The incoming SEC Chair also promised to repair the Commission’s image following Gensler’s infamous regulation-by-enforcement approach. Paul Grewal, the Chief Legal Officer (CLO) of the top crypto exchange , Coinbase, also congratulated Atkins on his confirmation. He stated that more progress is “sorely needed” after four years of regress. One Final Step Before The Swearing In Terrett revealed that the US Senate will send Paul Atkins’ confirmation to the White House, where US President Donald Trump will sign off on it. Once that happens, the president will swear him in as the next US SEC Chair. However, it remains unclear when exactly this will happen. In the meantime, Acting Chair Mark Uyeda would continue at the helm of affairs. The Commission has planned a roundtable for April 11, which would focus on crypto trading. SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce remarked that hearing the public’s concerns and suggestions helps the Commission “create a clear, sensible, and fair path forward for the crypto industry.” The post US Senate Confirms Pro-Crypto Paul Atkins As SEC Chair appeared first on CoinGape .
