John Reed Stark, former Chief at the SEC Office of Internet Enforcement, has argued that this regulatory push <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/regulation-and-legal\/ex-sec-chief-claims-agency-overreaches-authority-on-crypto-rules\/\">exceeds the agency\u2019s authority<\/a>, runs counter to over a decade of enforcement on crypto assets, and usurps Congress\u2019s authority.<\/p>\n<p>Even so, Atkins vowed to push on, highlighting that the agency\u2019s work in the crypto field has not finished. <strong>\u201cMore regulatory proposals are on the horizon, and I look forward to continuing to help President Trump cement the United States as the crypto capital of the world,\u201d<\/strong> he concluded.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/regulation-and-legal\/atkins-vows-more-crypto-rule-changes-to-keep-markets-onshore\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways SEC Chair Atkins highlighted that more crypto rules would be introduced to keep digital asset markets inside the US.
