[US SEC Chair Supports Crypto and Tokenization Innovation Regulation] Paul Atkins, Chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), stated that cryptocurrency and tokenization are key focus areas for the SEC, and plans to promote the development of on-chain products and services through 'innovation exemptions.' He emphasized the establishment of a regulatory framework to attract businesses back to the U.S., while supporting distributed ledger technology and cross-agency regulatory coordination. Currently, due to the government shutdown, the SEC has only a limited number of staff handling urgent matters.
