Few crypto-related questions for Atkins at nomination hearing

The confirmation hearing for Paul Atkins, the nominee for chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), ended with almost no questions about cryptocurrencies, CoinDesk reported. The publication explained that there were no questions about his views on cryptocurrency oversight, his key policy priorities, or his legislative efforts to reorganize cryptocurrencies. It suggested that there was a lack of interest from lawmakers because other major confirmation hearings were held that day in addition to Atkins’ nomination hearing.
