The American Senate confirmed Paul Atkins as a new president of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Senators approved the appointment on Wednesday with a vote of 52-44.
Atkins should move the agency’s approach to financial surveillance. It plans to facilitate regulatory requirements, relaunch the rules for the disclosure of companies and continue the new pro-Crypto position of the Commission.
Dry has a pro-coexy chair
From the hearing of the Senate last week, there has been doubts about the appointment of Paul Atkins. This was largely due to its significant exposure in cryptography as a leader in investments.
However, the Senate decided today with a tight vote.
The change in leadership follows a major transition period at the agency. Mark Uyeda, who was acting president after the departure of peopleler, launched a rapid overhaul of crypto policy.
“Confirmed, 52-44: Confirmation of the executive calendar n ° 61 Paul Atkins to be a member of the Securities and Exchange Commission for the rest of the mandate expiring on June 5, 2026”, wrote the locker room of the Senate.
Under the Uyeda, the SEC has rejected several major application measures linked to digital assets. The agency has also said that certain cryptographic sectors – including stablescoins, mining of evidence and parts even do not fall under its jurisdiction.
Some of these areas have financial links with the Trump family. Their companies include parts of documents even and links with World Liberty Financial, a company supporting its own stablecoin.
Atkins should formalize these quarters of regulation and supervise all the new standards that may arise from current legislation.
“Atkins may have marked history this evening as the first SEC commissioner to be confirmed three times by the Senate. Once in 2002, then in 2003, and now in 2025,” wrote Eleanor Terrett.
The dry has already started to loosen several other rules. Uyeda delayed the deadlines for implementing policies introduced during the term of peopleler.
He has also revised the rules on shareholders’ proposals, which makes it more difficult for activists to force problems on corporate ballots.
The agency withdrew its defense of the rules which required companies to disclose the risks and emissions related to the climate.
Atkins will resume a small agency. About 500 employees have accepted voluntary resignations or buyouts. This was part of the wider effort of the Trump administration to reduce federal agencies.
