Rewriting the Rules: The SEC & CFTC on Crypto, IPOs & the Future of American Markets

All right, everybody, welcome to the All-In Interview Program. Today we are delighted to have two of the most important individuals shaping capital markets over the next couple of years. SEC Chair Paul Atkins is with us as well as CFTC Chair Michael Sielig. Welcome to the All-In Interview Show, gentlemen. Glad to thank you very much.

Great to be here. Also with me, my bestie, Shamath Palihapatiya, who is known to participate in capital markets. I think there's a great structure here for us to talk, many opportunities, and then guardrails and things that we should be concerned about in such a dynamic time. Chairman Atkins, this is your third tour of duty. Since the 90s, things have changed dramatically.

So maybe just to start us off here, and I know Chumat's got a lot of great questions ready to go, I'm just curious, in your time, let's say the last 40 years or so, what has, uh, what have you noted here about capital markets and how they've changed and what's important for us looking forward? Well, thanks. It's great to be here and uh see both of you all uh today. Well, so I started out as a young lawyer uh in New York City doing uh corporation finance work, you know, new offerings and that sort of thing in the mid 80s. And uh and it's and there, you know, to to be a startup company and to to build your products and do R<unk>D and all that, uh, you had to go public uh in order to so Apple and Microsoft.
