On March 3, 2025, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced that its newly-formed Crypto Task Force will host a series of public roundtable discussions on key areas of interest relating to the regulation of cryptocurrency assets. Dubbed the “Spring Sprint Toward Crypto Clarity” series, the roundtables represent a changed approach at the SEC under Acting Chair Mark T. Uyeda, who is keen to establish a regulatory framework for crypto assets.
The inaugural roundtable, “How We Got Here and How We Get Out – Defining Security Status,”will be held on March 21, 2025 at the SEC’s headquarters in Washington, D.C. and will be open to the public. The roundtable will also be streamed live on the SEC’s website, with a recording of the event posted at a later date. Slated panelists include attorneys in the sector, academics, and industry stakeholders. In addition to the roundtable discussion, attendees will be able to participate in small group breakout sessions that will not be broadcast. Future roundtable scheduling and agenda information will be posted on the homepage of the Crypto Task Force on the SEC’s website.
