Crypto Policy Turns Friendly: SEC Chair Shift and Kalshi Bitcoin Deposits Boost Sentiment

Bitcoin hovered near $82,000 on Thursday, down 0.6%, as regulatory changes and institutional adoption signals helped lift market sentiment. The Senate confirmed Paul Atkins as the new SEC Chair, a move interpreted by many as a positive shift in U.S. crypto regulation. Meanwhile, prediction market Kalshi introduced Bitcoin deposits, and a new lawsuit claims the Department of Homeland Security previously interviewed Bitcoin's elusive creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.

The Senate confirmed Paul Atkins as Chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), replacing Gary Gensler. Atkins, a former SEC commissioner and outspoken crypto advocate, has pledged a "coherent and principled" approach to digital asset regulation.

"This nomination is seen as a turning point for U.S. crypto oversight," analysts noted, adding it could foster institutional confidence and spur new capital flows into Bitcoin and Web3.

Kalshi has started accepting Bitcoin (BTC) deposits, broadening access to its crypto-forward event contracts. Regulated by the CFTC, Kalshi now offers over 50 BTC-based contracts, including bets on potential federal adoption of Bitcoin. The platform converts BTC to USD via ZeroHash and has already processed $143 million in volume for Bitcoin-related events.

A lawsuit filed by attorney James Murphy seeks documents that allegedly confirm the agency interviewed Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous founder of Bitcoin. The case has revived interest in Bitcoin's origins and could fuel short-term price volatility.

With U.S. lawmakers considering a Bitcoin reserve and government-level investments, any credible federal link to Bitcoin's early history could strengthen its long-term institutional standing.

Despite market uncertainty, Bitcoin is holding near $82,000, attempting to breach the $83,500 resistance. A confirmed move above $84,000 could lead to $86,400, while a failure to clear may send price back toward $80,000 or $77,800.
