About this episode
In an extended interview, SEC Chair Paul Atkins discusses his vision for the agency. From cutting red tape and rebooting IPOs to expanding retail investors' access to private markets, Atkins outlines what a “new day at the SEC” really means. He addresses his push for a rational crypto framework and his top priorities since taking the helm of the agency in April. Plus, CNBC’s Emily Wilkins joins with the latest developments from Capitol Hill, Sam Altman is calling out Mark Zuckerberg, and Paramount has agreed to pay $16 million to settle Trump’s lawsuit over its ’60 Minutes’ Kamala Harris interview.
