The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is deepening its engagement with the crypto industry by announcing four additional public roundtables hosted by its Crypto Task Force.
The sessions, scheduled between April and June, will explore some of the most pressing regulatory challenges in the digital asset space.
The upcoming roundtables will cover a wide range of topics critical to the evolving crypto landscape:
April 11 – Between a Block and a Hard Place: Tailoring Regulation for Crypto Trading
April 25 – Know Your Custodian: Key Considerations for Crypto Custody
May 12 – Tokenization – Moving Assets Onchain: Where TradFi and DeFi Meet
June 6 – DeFi and the American Spirit
All events will be held at the SEC’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., and streamed live on SEC.gov. While virtual attendance does not require registration, in-person attendees must register in advance and pass standard security screening. Agendas and speaker details will be made available on the Crypto Task Force webpage.
“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,” said SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, who leads the Task Force. The SEC is also regularly conducting one on one meetings with influential crypto sector participants.
Established in January 2025 by Acting SEC Chairman Mark T. Uyeda, the Crypto Task Force was formed to address growing calls for clarity in crypto regulation. The task force is charged with defining regulatory boundaries, offering pathways for registration, designing appropriate disclosure standards, and prioritizing enforcement in key areas.
The SEC is also inviting members of the public who wish to participate as panelists to submit their interest via email to crypto@sec.gov with the subject line “Potential Panelist.” However, the agency notes that due to high demand, not all applicants may be accommodated.
