Paul Atkins, the new head of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), expressed his interest in making initial public offerings (IPOs) more accessible. His comments, made in July 2025, focused on addressing complexities in disclosures and mitigating litigation risks associated with going public. These remarks were highlighted in the context of a resurgent tech IPO market, which saw several companies, including Bullish, successfully debut. The SEC's focus on easing regulatory impediments could foster a more attractive environment for companies considering public listings. Nasdaq CEO Adena Friedman confirmed constructive conversations with Atkins regarding disclosure requirements and the proxy process. This indicates a potential shift towards a more supportive regulatory landscape for public companies, which could benefit digital asset firms like Bullish.
