Paul Atkins: The delay of his confirmation as a Sec chairman

On March 27, a meeting for a hearing from the committee for the selection of the future chairman of the US stock exchange supervision SEC, Paul Atkins, will be considered. This delay in the confirmation of Atkins is reported in connection with the submission of necessary documents, such as Eleanor Mueller, Congress Reporter of SemaFor.

President Donald Trump decided in December after his victory in the presidential elections, for Paul Atkins as the next chairman of the Sec. Atkins already had the office of SEC commissioner under President George W. Bush from 2002 to 2008. It is considered a crypto -friendly supporter in the industry, which is a significant choice for Trump, since this promised a redesign of the regulatory landscape for digital finance.

Mueller announced that the chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, Tim Scott, is considering March 27 as an appointment for the hearing of Trump's candidates for the Sec chairmanship. The committee is now waiting for the transmission of the necessary documents from the White House.

A point of disagreement is the financial disclosure of Atkins. In a report dated March 3, Mueller explained that the White House has not yet presented the necessary documents, including the disclosure of Atkins' finance. This is particularly relevant because Atkins married Sarah Humphreys Atkins, who is connected to the billionaire family behind Tamko Building Products, married into a wealthy family. Last year the company achieved sales of $ 1.2 billion, as a Forbes report in December describes.

A former member of the banking committee noticed: "This is a lot that you have to go through. But he was appointed so early, and I think that people are slowly wondering: 'What the hell takes so long?'"

While the confirmation of Paul Atkins is waiting for himself, Mark Uyeda temporarily takes on the role of the chairman of the Sec. Uyeda founded a new crypto-taskforce in January, which is intended to create a clear regulatory framework for the digital currency industry.

With the choice of Paul Atkins as SEC chairman, an important turn in regulating cryptocurrencies and digital finances could be imminent. The developments in this matter are pursued with interest.
