🇺🇸 SEC Chairman: We have stopped choking the markets and returned to rules.

Paul Atkins summarized his first year leading the SEC and acknowledged that the regulator was previously overdoing it.

➤ The SEC abandoned the approach of "regulation through enforcement."
➤ Instead of pressure – a focus on clear and transparent rules.
➤ The current priority is fighting fraud and market manipulation.

According to Atkins, the previous policy:
➤ Created uncertainty.
➤ Pressed on businesses.
➤ Pushed companies out of the United States.

Now the focus is on the opposite:
➤ Developing the domestic market.
➤ Supporting innovation.
➤ Returning to the core mission — protecting investors and maintaining order in the markets.
