On May 12, 2025, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will hold a roundtable titled “Tokenization: Moving Assets Onchain – Where TradFi and DeFi Meet.”
A key highlight of the roundtable will be the keynote address delivered by Chairman Paul S. Atkins. Chairman Atkins, who was sworn in on April 21, 2025, brings a wealth of experience to the SEC, having previously served as a commissioner from 2002 to 2008.
His return to the SEC is seen as a move towards fostering a balanced regulatory environment that supports innovation while ensuring investor protection.
The roundtable will explore how tokenization bridges traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi), reshaping asset ownership and trading. Experts and panelists will share insights on the evolving digital asset landscape.
On April 25, 2025, Atkins spoke at the Crypto Task Force roundtable titled “Know Your Custodian: Key Considerations for Crypto Custody.” In his address, Atkins stressed the need for clear regulations in the crypto sector to support innovation while ensuring investor protection.
With Atkins leading the discussion, the event may explore regulatory approaches that foster innovation while protecting investors, shaping the future of digital asset markets.
