This week’s Crypto Biz explores Singapore Gulf Bank’s plans to acquire a stablecoin firm, Binance delisting tokens, Cantor Fitzgerald’s stake in Tether and the first DOGE ETP.
The future of cryptocurrency regulation in the United States could see a significant shift as Paul Atkins, a former commissioner of the Securities and Exchange Commission known for his pro-innovation views, emerges as a frontrunner to lead the agency under a new administration at the White House.
Atkins previously served as commissioner and staffer under two chairs, Richard Breeden and Arthur Levitt, and is known as an expert in securities law and a balanced regulator. Most importantly, he holds a strong background in digital assets.
According to his profile on Patomak Global Partners, where he serves as CEO, Atkins has been at the core of industry efforts to develop best practices for digital asset issuances and trading platforms since 2017. He co-chairs the Token Alliance, an initiative by the Chamber of Digital Commerce aimed at shaping policy for tokenized networks and digital asset issuers.
