#数字资产生态回暖 SEC chairman Paul Atkins recently announced that the crypto working group will hold a roundtable next Monday, focusing on "Financial Monitoring and Privacy Protection."

This meeting is of significant importance. Atkins himself holds millions of dollars worth of crypto assets and has publicly opposed the previous chairman Gary Gensler's "adversarial regulation" approach before taking office, advocating a shift towards "dialogue-based governance" and establishing a "clear and neutral" regulatory framework. The meeting directly invites leading figures from the privacy sector, such as the founder of Zcash and the CEO of the Aleo Foundation, indicating their stance.

From another perspective, this is not regulatory pressure but an effort to hear the industry’s genuine opinions. The core issue is quite clear—both to prevent money laundering risks and to avoid stifling the development of privacy technologies with a one-size-fits-all approach. If the discussion moves towards rational innovation, privacy coins and privacy protocols could see a major turning point.

**Several observation points on market performance:**

On the day of the 15th meeting, it is worth paying attention to the official live broadcast content. Listen to how SEC officials and project representatives describe policy positions—if expressions like "balance," "innovative framework," and "clear rules" appear, it usually signals positive signals.

It should be reminded that the meeting is just the start of discussions, and actual policy implementation will take time. The privacy sector may experience emotional fluctuations, but this is not a signal to go all in. Do not gamble on the news release, and be cautious about chasing highs and getting caught.

Currently, the market is dominated by institutions, and retail investors need to adjust their strategies to participate. Either hold steady with Bitcoin for dollar-cost averaging, or use small amounts of capital to test the long-term potential of the privacy sector. Before the new rules are finalized, it’s better to miss opportunities than to take unnecessary risks.

This meeting could become a key node in reshaping the regulatory framework of the crypto market in the coming years.
