The SEC Crypto Special Task Force will hold a series of roundtable meetings across the United States.

2025.08.02 00:32:25

August 2nd. According to official channels, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced that its Crypto Task Force will be visiting several cities in the United States in the upcoming months and hold a series of roundtable meetings. The purpose of these meetings is to offer more stakeholders in the crypto field the chance to have direct interactions with SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce. This event particularly extends an invitation to representatives from early-stage crypto projects that have fewer than 10 employees and have been established for less than two years, aiming to ensure a more comprehensive and diverse regulatory policy-making process. Commissioner Peirce expressed her expectation to receive feedback from those who were unable to attend the spring roundtable meeting in Washington earlier this year. She emphasized that the regulatory framework will have a significant impact on the industry. The SEC aims to achieve a more extensive outreach effect through extensive communication. Project representatives who are interested in participating can submit applications via email, providing an outline of their team composition and project overview, and indicating the city they wish to participate in. The SEC plans to publicly release the list of participating projects to promote open and transparent dialogue and public participation. This series of roundtable meetings is regarded as a key initiative by the SEC to promote openness and inclusivity in crypto regulatory policy.
