In a revelation that would make even the most jaded of bachelors sit up and take notice, the esteemed Paul Atkins has, through an ethics filing, deigned to share the glittering details of his crypto-related wealth with the hoi polloi. The combined net worth of Atkins and his better half, one imagines, could buy a small island—or at least a very large yacht. A cool $327 million, no less!
It appears that Atkins has a penchant for the digital goldmine, holding a tidy sum in call options for the mysterious Securitize, and a rather impressive slice of Anchorage Digital. One wonders if he has a map to this Anchorage, for it sounds like a treasure trove. And let’s not forget his rather sizeable stake in Off the Chain Capital—a sum that would make a pirate weep with envy, ranging from $1 million to $5 million.
Nominated by the erstwhile President Trump, Atkins is poised to take the helm of the SEC, following in the footsteps of the departed Gary Gensler. A former SEC commissioner himself, Atkins has a history with the organization that dates back to the days when flip phones were all the rage.
Founder of Patomak Global Partners, Atkins has had his fingers in many a pie, including crypto exchanges and those enigmatic DeFi platforms. He’s even had a dalliance with The Digital Chamber, an outfit that sounds more like a secret society than an industry group. But all that came to an end when he was tapped for the SEC nomination, much to the chagrin of his DeFi chums.
Before the grand confirmation, the redoubtable Sen. Elizabeth Warren penned a missive to Atkins, voicing her concerns about potential conflicts of interest. One can only imagine the senator’s horror at the thought of Atkins’ connections to the ill-fated FTX exchange and his possible ties to Trump’s memecoin escapades. 🚀💰😱
