According to MetaEra, on March 25, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren sent a 34-page letter of inquiry to SEC Chairman nominee Paul Atkins, focusing on his connection with the bankrupt crypto trading platform FTX and the potential conflict of interest brought about by Trump's issuance of Memecoin. Warren pointed out in the letter that Patomak Global Partners, a consulting firm founded by Atkins, provided consulting services to FTX in 2022 and has many banks, crypto exchanges and DeFi platform clients. He also joined the advisory board of the blockchain industry association The Digital Chamber in 2020. Warren questioned whether Atkins' close relationship with crypto clients would affect his position on crypto regulation, and questioned whether he had directly advised former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried. Atkins will attend the nomination hearing of the Senate Banking Committee on Thursday. Patomak Global Partners has not yet commented on this. (Source: BlockBeats)
