Atkins proposes making electronic delivery the default method for investor communications as a key pillar of his agenda.
“By proposing to permit electronic delivery (e-delivery) to become the default method for issuers, market intermediaries, and others to communicate with investors, we are taking another stride toward a regulatory framework suitable for the modern era, a key pillar of my agenda.”
Atkins says paper delivery should be a relic in the age of AI and blockchain technology.
“In an age of artificial intelligence and blockchain technology, a default to paper delivery should be a relic, not a standard.”
Atkins frames Regulation E-Delivery as meaningful advancement rather than mere administrative adjustment.
“Regulation E-Delivery is not merely a proposed administrative adjustment; it represents a meaningful advancement toward aligning our rules with the needs of today’s markets.”
