According to CoinDesk, despite the Clarity Act being stalled in Congress, the Trump administration is providing regulatory clarity for the crypto industry through executive actions.Analyst Brady Dale pointed out that Trump's appointment of Paul Atkins as SEC chairman could be a decisive move, as Atkins, a seasoned regulatory expert, has clearly stated that the SEC has the authority to establish the necessary rules for the crypto industry without waiting for congressional legislation. The appointment of new CFTC chairman Michael Selig further ensures coordination between the two major regulatory agencies. The two agencies are expected to submit draft rules this fall and finalize them in the spring of 2026, which will establish dedicated rules for decentralized financial networks for the first time, allowing exchanges to operate in compliance and making token sales possible.

SEC Chairman Paul Atkins warned on December 15 during a roundtable meeting of the SEC's cryptocurrency working group that if regulation is not careful, cryptocurrencies could become tools for financial surveillance.Paul Atkins stated that blockchain has an efficient capability in associating transactions with individuals, which raises concerns about excessive government intervention. He cautioned that viewing every cryptocurrency wallet and transaction as a surveillance target could lead to the creation of a financial monitoring system. Paul Atkins also pointed out that a balance can be achieved between national security needs and individual privacy. As traditional finance enters this field, the debate over cryptocurrency privacy is increasingly gaining attention, and recent criminal cases have highlighted regulatory challenges.

According to The Block, analysts at investment bank TD Cowen have pointed out that as the federal government resumes operations, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is entering a critical period, as the agency is working on developing regulatory rules for the cryptocurrency industry.Led by Jaret Seiberg, the TD Cowen Washington research team stated in a report that following the longest government shutdown in history, market focus has shifted to SEC Chairman Paul Atkins' policy agenda. Seiberg said on Monday, "After the government restart, the SEC will enter the most important 12 months of Chairman Atkins' tenure, and his agenda for easing regulations will enter a substantive phase." Since the new Trump administration took office this year, the SEC has taken several actions to clarify its stance on cryptocurrency regulation, including issuing staking guidelines, holding roundtable discussions, and launching a rule modernization initiative called the "Crypto Plan."Last week, Atkins also announced a token classification scheme aimed at defining under what circumstances digital assets should be classified as securities. Seiberg noted that the SEC needs to start releasing proposals in the coming months to complete rule-making before 2027, as the agency can take up to two years from proposal to finalization, allowing room for judicial defense and ensuring that the new rules are implemented by the end of 2028.Seiberg mentioned that Atkins is also focusing on non-cryptocurrency issues such as semi-annual report disclosures and retail investor participation in alternative investments. In the cryptocurrency space, Atkins is expected to focus on tokenized equity assets. As crypto companies rush to launch blockchain equity tokens, these tokenized securities may directly compete with traditional brokerage businesses. Seiberg stated, "We expect SEC Chairman Atkins to provide exemptions for online brokers and crypto platforms, paving the way for them to engage in tokenized equity business."

ChainCatcher news, new U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins announced on Monday that the agency will undergo significant changes in its approach to cryptocurrency regulation and outlined details involving issuance and custody. Nominated by President Trump, Atkins articulated these plans during the SEC's fourth cryptocurrency task force roundtable, demonstrating a starkly different approach to digital asset regulation compared to the previous administration."SEC is ushering in a new day," Atkins said. "Policy-making will no longer rely on ad hoc enforcement actions. Instead, the Commission will utilize its existing rule-making, interpretive, and exemption authorities to set standards suitable for market participants."Atkins stated on Monday that he plans to develop guidelines for assets considered securities or "subject to investment contracts." He criticized the previous approach by Gensler, which required companies to visit the SEC, calling it a "ostrich policy—perhaps hoping that cryptocurrency would disappear." "It claims to be willing to talk to potential registrants, 'just come visit,' but that is at most empty rhetoric, more often hypocritical, as the SEC has not made the necessary adjustments to the registration forms for this new technology," he said.Atkins also hinted that custody rules may need updating to allow funds and advisors to engage in self-custody under certain conditions and revealed that the agency may take a new approach to its "special purpose broker-dealer framework." Atkins indicated that the SEC may also consider whether to provide exemption relief for participants looking to bring new products to market. "I want to explore whether conditional exemption relief applies to registrants and non-registrants seeking to launch new products and services that may be incompatible with the current Commission rules and regulations," he said.
