Digital asset owners have reason to be optimistic: Donald Trump has appointed Paul Atkins, a lawyer and leader of a crypto advocacy group, as chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the key US financial regulator. The new administration, which is closely tied to Silicon Valley tycoons, is in favor of reducing regulations that they believe are limiting the development of the crypto industry, the publication writes.
