The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced a series of public roundtables to discuss crypto asset regulation. These sessions, part of the “Spring Sprint Toward Crypto Clarity” initiative, aim to address key regulatory challenges and provide a platform for industry stakeholders to share insights10.
The roundtables will cover topics such as crypto trading, custody, tokenization, and decentralized finance (DeFi). Scheduled to begin on March 21, 2025, the sessions will be held at the SEC’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., and streamed online for broader accessibility10.
Commissioner Hester Peirce, known for her pro-crypto stance, leads the initiative. She emphasized the importance of these discussions in shaping a clear and constructive regulatory framework for digital assets.
The SEC’s Crypto Task Force, established in January 2025, plays a central role in organizing these events10.
The initiative reflects a strategic shift in the SEC’s approach to crypto regulation. Under Acting Chair Mark Uyeda, the agency has moved from enforcement to engagement, focusing on collaboration with industry stakeholders10.
The roundtables come at a time of heightened regulatory scrutiny and evolving market dynamics. They aim to address pressing issues such as security classification, investor protection, and the integration of traditional and decentralized financial systems10.
