Newly appointed SEC Chairman Paul Atkins is now taking on a new duty that Gary Gensler had previously served as chairman. Jensler’s reign was full of code horror, with intense scrutiny and speculation. Now that Pro-Bitcoin Paul Atkins envisions his new role, his obligation to regulate the crypto government with the maximum clarity will become his priority. At the same time, hopes for the XRP ETF to gain approval were once again strengthened under his reign. Does Atkins play an important role in approving the XRP ETF? Let’s look into it.
