In this episode of Byte-Sized Insight, we dig into the appointment of Paul Atkins as the new SEC chair and what his crypto-friendly stance could mean for digital asset regulation in the US.

Atkins, a former SEC commissioner and longtime advocate for market-driven oversight, takes the helm at a pivotal moment — with over 70 crypto ETF applications awaiting review and industry players calling for clearer guidance. His swearing-in marks a sharp contrast to Gary Gensler’s enforcement-first approach, raising hopes for a more coherent regulatory framework.

We speak with Bitwise general counsel Katherine Dowling, CoinFund president Chris Perkins, and Exodus chief financial officer James Gernetzke to unpack what this leadership change signals for the future of tokenization, investor protection and the broader Web3 ecosystem.

From policy priorities to market sentiment, and a surge in chatter across Crypto Twitter, we cover the shift from resistance to potential regulatory reset.
