Odaily Planet Daily reports: U.S. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins stated that despite setbacks in U.S. legislative progress and leadership changes, the SEC will continue advancing a comprehensive framework for the cryptocurrency market. Previously, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act failed to clear the 60-vote procedural threshold in the Senate on September 15, shifting policy focus toward federal regulators utilizing existing authority to provide regulatory clarity. During Atkins’ tenure, the SEC announced a temporary regulatory exemption in September to ease restrictions on certain tokenized stock trading; Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the White House Crypto Committee, stepped down after having participated in negotiations for the CLARITY Act.
