If Atkins is confirmed by the Senate, crypto grifters will surely rejoice at their newfound freedom to swindle, but most investors in the U.S. will be much less safe.

President-elect Donald Trump nominated Patomak Partners CEO, cryptocurrency enthusiast, and Project 2025 contributor Paul Atkins to chair the Securities and Exchange Commission. In response, RDP Senior Researcher Kenny Stancil released the following statement:

“Donald Trump’s nomination of Paul Atkins to chair the Securities and Exchange Commission is a huge gift to the crypto industry, as evidenced by the immediate jump in Bitcoin’s stock price. Atkins has long championed fraudulent and environmentally disastrous digital assets whose only identifiable reason for existing is to facilitate criminal activity. If Atkins is confirmed by the Senate, crypto grifters will surely rejoice at their newfound freedom to swindle, but most investors in the U.S. will be much less safe.”
