Paul Atkins, the newly appointed Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), has heralded the beginning of a new regulatory epoch. He plans to shift away from ad hoc enforcement measures and instead establish definitive standards for the market through a process of rulemaking, interpretation, and granting exemptions. Atkins criticized his predecessor, Gary Gensler, for adopting a strategy akin to an ostrich burying its head in the sand. He further revealed that the SEC is considering updates to custody rules to permit self-custody under specific conditions, while also exploring the possibility of conditional exemptions for novel products and services.
