Paul Atkins, a commissioner of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), stated that "As the SEC chairman, my priority is to develop a reasonable regulatory framework for the virtual asset (cryptocurrency) market, establish clear rules for the issuance, custody, and trading of virtual assets, and deter malicious activities."
According to the virtual asset specialist media The Block on the 20th (local time), Commissioner Atkins revealed this during a House Appropriations Committee hearing.
During the hearing, questions were raised not only about the approach to virtual asset regulation but also about the stance on the TRON (TRX) lawsuit.
Glen Ivey, a Democratic Congressman from Maryland, said, "TRON founder Justin Sun purchased tokens worth $30 million from World Liberty Finance (WLFI), and Sun also announced that he would attend a private dinner with President Donald Trump," adding, "I believe the SEC should investigate this matter."
