SEC’s Crypto Task Force to Host Four Key Roundtables 

The SEC's Crypto Task Force is ramping up its efforts to tackle digital asset regulation, announcing a series of four upcoming roundtable discussions.

These sessions, starting in April, aim to address key issues in the crypto industry, with the first roundtable focused on regulating crypto trading platforms on April 11.

Subsequent discussions will explore topics such as cryptocurrency custody on April 25, tokenization of assets on May 12, and the intersection of decentralized finance (DeFi) with American values on June 6. All events will be open to the public and streamed online, allowing broader participation.

This initiative builds on the SEC’s ongoing efforts to clarify crypto regulations, following their first roundtable which discussed the challenges of classifying digital assets.

Mark Uyeda, the SEC’s Acting Chair, highlighted the complexities in determining how crypto assets fit within current federal laws. He suggested that a formal regulatory approach, such as rulemaking, could help resolve these uncertainties, marking a shift toward more structured regulation.

The task force is also inviting stakeholders to apply as panelists, a move designed to increase public input into the regulatory process. This step signifies a more inclusive approach, allowing diverse voices to participate in shaping the future of digital asset rules. By fostering open dialogue, the SEC aims to create a regulatory environment that is both effective and adaptable to the rapidly evolving crypto landscape.
