In a recent post on X, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse expressed strong approval of Paul Atkins’ nomination as the new U.S. SEC Chair. Garlinghouse described Atkins as “an outstanding choice,” choice. The Ripple CEO highlighted Atkin’s experience and reputation for advocating for “common sense” regulatory measures. 

According to Garlinghouse, Atkins’ leadership could usher in a new era for the crypto industry. Brad emphasized, 

“Paul Atkins at the helm of the SEC will bring common sense back to the agency. Along with Hester Peirce and Mark Uyeda, it’s time to swiftly and definitively end the prohibition era on crypto, restoring freedom of choice, economic growth, and innovation.”

Senator Cynthia Lummis Backs Paul Atkins for US SEC Chair

Additionally, U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis supported Ripple CEO views on Paul Atkins’ nomination as SEC Chair. Lummis, an advocate for digital assets, expressed her approval in a statement, calling Atkins’ appointment a “huge win for financial innovation.” 

The senator, who has worked extensively on crypto legislation, emphasized the importance of having a pro-digital asset leader at the SEC. She highlighted President Trump’s pledge to create the most pro-crypto administration in U.S. history and expressed her eagerness to collaborate with Atkins to promote innovation.

Lummis has long been a vocal critic of the SEC’s stance on digital assets and has worked to bring more clarity to the crypto regulatory framework. In a recent report, the crypto advocate proposed that purchasing Bitcoin could reduce the US national debt over the next 20 years. She suggested that by accumulating around 200,000 BTC initially and expanding to 1 million BTC over time, the rising value of Bitcoin could help offset the declining purchasing power of the US dollar. 

Atkins, who served as an SEC Commissioner from 2002 to 2008, has a track record of working on regulatory issues. According to Ripple CEO, Atkins has potential to reshape the SEC’s approach to digital assets. 

More so, Atkins has served in advisory roles for crypto projects like Reserve Rights (RSR). His familiarity with blockchain technology and digital assets will enable him to lead the US SEC.
