SEC's new head Paul Atkins is personally stepping into the scene. The crypto working group will hold a roundtable next Monday, focusing on how to balance "financial monitoring" and "privacy."

Who is this person? He controls millions of dollars in crypto assets. Before taking office, he publicly criticized his predecessor Gary Gensler's "enforcement-style regulation," advocating for "dialogue governance" to make rules more "transparent and neutral." Now he's calling in top figures from the privacy tech circle—like the Zcash founder and Aleo Foundation CEO—for a meeting—think about that carefully.

My simple judgment: this isn't "regulation checking the water," it's "family members sitting down to discuss what to do." The core question of the meeting is: how to prevent money laundering without outright killing privacy technologies? If the discussion leans toward "support innovation" and "clear frameworks," privacy coins and privacy protocols may see policy-level breakthroughs.

But let's calmly look at the market:
On the 15th, pay close attention to the official live stream. Listen to what officials and project teams discuss. If words like "balance," "innovation," or "regulatory sandbox" appear, it's a positive signal. Conversely, if they keep repeating "strict scrutiny," don't get overly excited.

Don't go all-in impulsively. The meeting is just a discussion phase and doesn't mean policies will be implemented immediately. The privacy sector might see short-term emotional hype, but chasing high could get you caught at the "news peak."

Long-term survival logic: the current market is dominated by institutions. Don't expect to get rich overnight with altcoins. Either dollar-cost average into Bitcoin as a ballast or use spare funds to position in potential privacy sector projects. Remember, until rules are clear, it's better to miss opportunities than make directional mistakes.

This meeting could be the starting point for a redefinition of crypto gameplay in the coming years.
