SEC Chair Expects Trump to Sign Bipartisan Crypto Market-Structure Bill
SEC Chair Paul Atkins indicated on Wednesday that bipartisan U.S. crypto market-structure legislation is likely to move forward and be signed by President Trump in the coming months. Atkins said the bill would end long-running regulatory uncertainty, strengthen investor protections and help position the United States as a global hub for digital assets, a notable shift after years of fragmented oversight.
Market implications could be significant: clearer rules for exchanges, custody, stablecoins and token listings may unlock institutional capital and improve risk controls across the ecosystem. Analysts say the clarity could boost investor confidence and potentially spark the next major uptrend, though the timing will depend on final congressional language, the presidential signature and subsequent rulemaking by regulators.
