The Blockchain Association's Ron Hammond has expressed optimism that under the new leadership of Paul Atkins, the SEC may drop non-fraud cases, such as the ongoing Ripple lawsuit, and settle them quickly. This would allow the cryptocurrency industry to move forward and potentially bring clearer regulations. Atkins is expected to be confirmed as the next SEC chair soon, with hearings on his nomination taking place in the coming weeks. The stance of Senator Elizabeth Warren, a prominent crypto critic, during these hearings could influence the SEC's approach to the industry. Once confirmed, Atkins will work with key SEC staff to provide regulatory clarity and potentially collaborate with Congress to pass legislation.
