The SEC’s new regime under Paul Atkins is taking a friendlier approach to crypto, epitomized by Project Crypto, its blueprint for merging traditional and digital finance. In this week’s Votes and Verdicts podcast, Bloomberg Intelligence analysts Elliott Stein and Nathan Dean are joined by BI’s Head of Market Structure Research, Larry Tabb, to discuss the opportunities and challenges. Tabb gives a detailed explanation of the project, with the discussion covering the potential ramifications for trading, settlement, custody and liquidity, as well as how it fits within the SEC’s broader agenda. The status and timing of Congress’s CLARITY Act was also discussed.
