The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is announcing four more roundtable events in 2025 for its task force to discuss the digital assets industry.
According to a new press release, the regulatory agency plans to add four roundtable discussions about crypto assets and how they are regulated to its calendar of events.
The discussions, which will take place between April and June, will clarify the law regarding crypto custody, real-world asset tokenization and decentralized finance (DeFi).
Says Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, head of the Crypto Task Force,
“The Crypto Task Force roundtables are an opportunity for us to hear a lively discussion among experts about what the regulatory issues are and what the Commission can do to solve them.”
The SEC’s Crypto Task Force was launched earlier this year by Mark Uyeda, the agency’s Acting Chair. It brings together regulators, lawyers and crypto executives to discuss the appropriate courses of action in terms of regulating crypto assets.
Earlier this week, Peirce, a longtime proponent of digital assets, said that the Crypto Task Force will be a revamp of the SEC’s approach to regulating cryptocurrencies.
“The formation of the Crypto Task Force gave permission to staff in the building to work earnestly towards a workable framework for crypto regulation, and staff have responded with palpable enthusiasm…
People have been talking, thinking, and writing about the issues with which we are now wrestling. The roundtable series will allow us to explore the issues collaboratively.”
