SEC Chair Atkins Signals Regulatory Autonomy on Blockchain Rules
The Securities and Exchange Commission's leadership is moving toward independent action on cryptocurrency oversight. SEC Chairman Atkins has indicated that the regulatory body possesses sufficient authority to establish blockchain-related rules without requiring congressional approval or legislative procedures.
This position represents a significant shift in how the SEC approaches crypto regulation. Rather than waiting for legislative processes that could take months or years, the agency is asserting its existing regulatory frame
