Atkins is a former SEC Commissioner who served under Pitt, Donaldson and Cox.
Although he is a small business advocate, he is also a strong supporter of individual investors and protections. I would be pretty damn surprised if he moved to roll back any changes to 15c2-11.
I expect that what he will do is formulate new regulations specific to the crypto markets and add new protections for crypto investors. Sort of doing to the crypto markets what the new 15c2-11 regulations did to the OTC - clean it up, mandate reporting and/or registration, or no trading.
