The Digital Chamber further advocates for the SEC to establish pathways for crypto businesses to register and comply with securities laws, while developing specific disclosure standards for digital asset markets and broker-dealers.
Crypto advocates have expressed hope that Atkins, if confirmed as SEC chair, will take a more favorable approach toward the crypto industry, citing his past consultancy work in the space. Trump emphasized Atkins’ expertise in digital assets when nominating him earlier this month. The Digital Chamber also congratulated Atkins on his nomination in a social media post.
However, the chamber did not immediately confirm whether Atkins had reviewed or contributed to the priorities outlined in the proposal, despite his role as an advisory board member for the group. In their announcement, the chamber expressed satisfaction with the openness of the dialogue during their meeting with staff members of Peirce and Uyeda. They emphasized that Peirce, Uyeda, and Atkins are well-positioned to evaluate the SEC’s actions and guide future regulatory decisions.
