The regulatory winds might finally be shifting. Paul Atkins, heading up the SEC now, just dropped some serious hints at the Fed's Fintech Conference in Philly. His message? The days of "regulation by enforcement" need to end. Instead of this chaotic approach where nobody knows the rules until they're getting sued, Atkins is pushing for something revolutionary: an actual rulebook. Yeah, imagine that—clear guidelines instead of surprise lawsuits. He's talking about a comprehensive framework that crypto companies can actually follow. Whether this turns into real action or just more talk remains to be seen, but at least someone in Washington is saying the quiet part out loud.
