SEC Chair Paul Atkins has announced the Spring 2025 Regulatory Agenda, aiming to establish pragmatic regulations for digital assets. The agenda will be discussed at a SEC-CFTC roundtable on September 29, 2025, focusing on enhancing market confidence and structure, particularly affecting Bitcoin, Ethereum, and major DeFi protocols. Atkins emphasizes the need for clear rules on crypto asset issuance and trading, moving away from waiting for 'perfect regulation.' This approach is expected to boost institutional confidence and increase on-chain activity, with historical trends indicating potential long-term positive sentiment and adoption.
