Wrapping up the summit: @SECPaulSAtkins with @milesjennings, A View from the SEC:

Atkins: Project Crypto, we've relied on @HesterPeirce to spearhead that project, they had made a fair amount of progress before I joined last Spring...next year we'll see a lot of action from the work the team has been doing this past year.

Atkins: I view very positively the working relationship with the CFTC, no gaps between us, and no turf wars between the agencies as long as I am there.

Atkins: everything that we're focused on, including our taxonomy effort, meshes well with what Congress is working on...it's really important to me that we future proof what we're doing, if the pendulum swings the other way we need to make sure that we implement any rulemakings well in the time that we have.

Atkins: I think that we're in this together, with the industry, and people in the industry know more about tech and its use that we at the SEC will ever know...and just by the nature of our ethics issues, the most we can do is have demos, so we are just naturally behind as far as learning goes...we need to talk to industry and good lines of communications to figure out what people are doing.

Atkins: we've also been talking about an innovation exemption...what we're going to try to do is to give people certainty so they don't expect a subpoena later on down the line...we won't stand for fraud or ne'er do wells but we want to let everyone else know what they need to do to comply.

Atkins: please come in and talk to us, it's not a gotcha regime, we want to learn and make sure we're doing things correctly...what are the problems with implementation? we want to find the common threads of what everyone who comes in to visit us says to find the right solutions.
