The U.S. SEC's Crypto Task Force is gearing up for a series of roundtables to discuss crypto regulation issues.
Launch of Crypto Task Force Roundtables
The Crypto Task Force is initiating a series of four roundtable discussions on tokenization and decentralized finance. The first session, held in Washington, gathered lawyers to discuss whether tokens should be considered securities. Commissioner Hester Peirce called it the "Spring Sprint Toward Crypto Clarity."
Topics of Upcoming Discussions
The next topic, "Between a Block and a Hard Place: Tailoring Regulation for Crypto Trading," is set for April 11. Other discussions will cover crypto custody (April 25), tokenization (May 12), and decentralized finance (June 6).
Goals and Future of Crypto Regulation
The task force, launched on January 21, aims to set clear rules, offer practical registration paths, and build effective disclosure frameworks. The SEC is also exploring NFT regulation. Paul Atkins, nominated by Trump as the new SEC chair and a crypto supporter, will have his Senate hearing on Thursday.
The roundtables will be a significant step towards clearer rules for the crypto industry, engaging experts in resolving current regulatory challenges.
