The most anticipated question of who could be the next SEC Chair finally came to an end when President-elect Donald Trump officially nominated Paul Atkins as the next SEC Chair. But there are still some questions on investors’ minds as to how Atkin will address the ongoing crypto cases. Paul Atkins is a former SEC commissioner known for his pro-crypto views. He has always supported fair and transparent crypto regulations that encourage innovation in the crypto industry without suppressing technological advancements.Â
In a recent x post crypto analyst Arthur (@XrpArthur) shared why Paul Atkins’ nomination by Donald Trump to succeed Gary Gensler as the chair of the U.S. SEC is great news for Ripple, XRP, and the entire crypto industry.

Why This Change Matters
Crypto space has seen SEC’s overreach in many crypto cases under Gary Gensler’s tenure at the SEC. With his aggressive and manipulative stance,e XRP’s price went down over the years. The Ripple vs SEC lawsuit, which started years ago, has been one of the most high-profile cases, causing uncertainty and slowing down innovation in the crypto space. This decade-long case has scared investors and many new companies to enter the market in fear of regulations.Â
However, Paul Atkins has a different approach. He is expected to fill current loopholes in the system. The priority will be to give priority to fair regulations that will support the crypto growth and innovation. Trump has played with the timings before the official charge he announced pro-crypto staff to gain the investor faith. Having said that Ripple is also bullish as Atkins’s appointment if comes true might help Ripple to end this lawsuit forever.Â
What Does This Mean for Ripple and XRP?
The biggest change under Atkins could be a quicker resolution of Ripple’s ongoing lawsuit with the SEC. If the case is settled faster, XRP could finally be cleared of its legal issues. This would make XRP more attractive to investors, especially institutions, which have been hesitant due to the legal uncertainty.
Furthermore, with clearer and more predictable regulations under Atkins, XRP could gain more legitimacy in the U.S. market. This could lead to greater adoption of XRP, especially by institutional investors who are waiting for legal clarity before entering the market.
