Liberty Pub Live at PubKey | Guest: SEC Chairman Paul Atkins

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul S. Atkins joined Free the People’s Liberty Pub at PubKey DC for a conversation with Matt Kibbe and Thomas Pacchia about crypto, innovation, self-custody, and the future of American capital markets.

Filmed on June 26, 2026, this inaugural in-person Liberty Pub discussion explores why clear rules, rule of law, and enforceable contracts are essential to keeping innovation in the United States. From the Howey test and the Clarity Act to Bitcoin, stablecoins, AI, and on-chain settlement, Chairman Atkins makes the case for replacing regulation by enforcement with predictable, durable rules that allow builders, investors, and entrepreneurs to take risks with confidence.

Cheers to innovation, ownership, and the return of Liberty Pub.
