Paul Atkins criticized the president of dry “shoot first” approach to the regulation of cryptography.
-
The agency aims to focus on threats, fraudsters and bad actors in space.

The SEC has dropped more than a dozen cases, proceedings and implementing measures against cryptographic companies.
The new president of the Pro-Crypto Commission for Securities and Exchange (SEC), Paul Atkins, said that the agency will provide companies with many warnings about their potential violation of the securities law before going ahead with measures responsible for the law.
This marks another promise of the new boss of the regulator to end the aggressive approach taken under his predecessor, Gary Gensler.
Speaking with the Financial Times, Atkins undertook to give cryptographic companies to predict their technical violations before imposing costly application measures, or as he says, “denigrate the door”.
He postulates that many were right to criticize the dry, “in particular”, he adds, because recent actions were less based on the previous one and predictability.
“It would shoot first and ask questions later.”
Now, it is a question of strengthening the priorities of agencies and focusing on serious fraudsters on the market. Quoting a sign on the door of its first dry boss, Atkins told FT:
“If you lie, cheat or fly your investors and steal their money like Bernie Madoff, we will leave you naked, homeless and without wheels.”
Under the previous president of the SEC, Gary Gensler, dozens of major and emerging cryptographic societies were continued, brought to justice for years and were subjected to billions of fines.
From now on, under Atkins and “Project Crypto”, the dry works hard to provide regulations and crystalline directives for industry.
Since Donald Trump took office, a series of policies, appointments and pro-Crypto decrees has launched the American embrace of digital assets and web3 technologies.
This has seen the legal actions of the SEC, application actions and affairs against cryptographic companies, notably Ripple, Binance, Renseys, Robinhood, Uniswap and many others.
Now, with the genius law which was signed and provided to put in view of the Stablecoins in 2026, the Clarity Act is then online.
Mainly, this bill aims to create a clear market structure by clearly defining the roles of the SEC, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the types of digital assets that they will supervise.
More specifically, the duo will have a codified framework and on several levels of asset classifications to be respected, without place to overlap in their jurisdictional authority, as has been the case for years now.
