The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is showing signs of change by establishing a virtual asset (cryptocurrency) task force (TF). However, the head of the SEC virtual asset TF stated that it is necessary to maintain a cautious stance as the chairman has not been officially appointed yet.

According to Cointelegraph on the 11th (local time), SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce said, "It is a bit early to decide on the agenda for virtual assets. We need to wait until the Senate confirms the SEC chairman."

She added, "Acting Chairman Mark Uyeda is doing a great job. However, I think the next SEC chairman would want to set the agenda directly."

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has nominated former SEC Commissioner Paul Atkins as the next SEC chairman.
