According to ChainCatcher, as reported by Cointelegraph, the new chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Paul Atkins, stated in a speech on May 19 that this is a "new era" for the cryptocurrency industry. Atkins pointed out that "the crypto market has been stagnating in the regulatory gray area of the SEC for years," and emphasized that under his leadership, the SEC will return to its fundamental mission of "promoting rather than stifling innovation." He has instructed the commission's policy departments to begin drafting rule proposals related to cryptocurrency, while continuing to "clear obstacles" through staff-level statements.  

According to ChainCatcher, as reported by Jinshi, Dallas Fed President Logan stated that the Federal Reserve should consider strengthening mechanisms to more effectively prevent money market rates from soaring during times of market stress. In a speech prepared for the Atlanta Fed's 2025 Financial Markets Conference, Logan once again called for encouraging more banks to use the discount window and to centralize the clearing of Standing Repo Facility (SRF) operations. Logan also pointed out that the Federal Reserve should focus on broader market rates, not just the federal funds rate. She said, "In my view, rate control is not just about keeping the federal funds rate within the target range."
