币界网报道:The U.S. SEC has appointed four senior officials, including two with digital asset expertise, signaling a more crypto-friendly approach under Chairman Paul Atkins. Jamie Selway, former institutional markets head at Blockchain (2018-2019), becomes Director of Trading and Markets on June 17, stating "we will promote the SEC's mission and enable innovation." Brian T. Daly, joining from Akin Gump on July 8 as Investment Management Director, criticized the previous SAB 121 rule that hindered banks' crypto custody services, calling it "a predicate to everything" for institutional crypto offerings. The appointments follow Atkins' March crypto roundtable and his pledge for a more accommodating digital asset policy since taking office in April, contrasting with the Gensler-era approach that industry figures like a16z's Miles Jennings called ineffective for investor protection and market efficiency.
