Maxine Waters will discuss cryptocurrency with the SEC Chairman.

Maxine Waters' Criticism of SEC Chairman

Representative Maxine Waters, as the senior Democratic member of the House Financial Services Committee, has called for a hearing with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins to discuss cryptocurrency issues. Waters wants to address Atkins' actions in the crypto space and other related matters.

Waters' party has a strong chance of regaining the House majority in 2026. This increases her likelihood of becoming the committee chair again.
