The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is gearing up for another deep dive into crypto regulation, with its fourth roundtable event set for May 12.
This installment will center around the intersection of traditional finance and decentralized platforms, with a sharp focus on asset tokenization.
Hosted at the SEC’s Washington, D.C. headquarters, the event—open to both virtual and in-person attendees—will run through the afternoon and is expected to draw a mix of regulators, financial institutions, and blockchain industry voices. Participants must register to attend physically, while online viewers can access the live broadcast via the SEC’s official site.
The agenda includes remarks from key figures such as Chair Paul Atkins, along with Commissioners Crenshaw and Uyeda. Also leading the effort is Commissioner Hester Peirce, who has championed the idea that tokenized assets could redefine how financial systems function. Peirce is especially interested in how the SEC might adapt to this emerging sector, and she’s looking to industry insiders for guidance.
The roundtable—titled “Tokenization: Moving Assets Onchain”—will welcome representatives from financial giants including Fidelity and BlackRock. The latter recently met privately with the SEC’s Crypto Task Force to explore topics like staking and digital asset integration.
This upcoming session is part of a broader series of exploratory discussions. The final roundtable, “DeFi and the American Spirit,” is scheduled for June 9 and will likely wrap up the current cycle of SEC crypto forums. While these talks have yet to lead to binding policy changes, they continue to set the stage for how the Commission might eventually regulate the fast-evolving digital economy.
