Katherine Reilly Steps In as SEC's Acting Inspector General
- SEC Chairman Paul Atkins announced on May 19, 2025, a strategic shift in crypto regulation at the SEC Speaks conference in Washington, D.C.
- Atkins criticized the SEC's past approach as initially ignoring crypto, then enforcing without clear rules, which hindered market trust and engagement.
- The SEC is in the process of developing formal regulations for the crypto market, plans to incorporate FinHub’s functions throughout the agency to enhance innovation, and supports permitting registered entities to both hold and conduct transactions involving securities and non-securities within a unified framework.
- Atkins expressed his support for the SEC enabling registered firms to hold and manage both securities and non-securities assets within a single regulated entity, aiming to lower expenses and simplify regulatory supervision.
- This new approach aims to replace regulatory ambiguity with clear engagement, potentially accelerating digital asset integration into a federally supervised environment.
