In this episode of the Unchained podcast, the focus is on the potential impact of Paul Atkins' nomination as SEC Chair. Cody Carbone, president of the Digital Chamber, emphasizes Atkins' extensive industry expertise and his previous role at the SEC. He suggests that this could lead to a more collaborative approach with the private sector and a move away from the current "regulation by enforcement" strategy. Carbone believes Atkins may reassess existing enforcement actions, possibly dismissing cases that don't involve fraud, while prioritizing clear rulemaking and guidance for the crypto industry. The conversation also explores the possible involvement of Congress, the CFTC, and the idea of a "crypto czar" in shaping the future of crypto regulation.
