SEC to hold series of round tables on cryptocurrency regulating

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced its decision to hold four round tables addressing the regulation issues related to cryptocurrencies. The events are scheduled to take place from April to June and will cover key topics including digital asset storage, tokenization, decentralized finance (DeFi), and cryptocurrency trading rules.

The SEC Crypto Task Force team, created in January, seeks to achieve a balance between investor protection and fostering innovation. The discussions will bring together lawyers, financiers, and representatives of the crypto industry. They will address issues such as how current law applies to digital assets and what new regulations may be needed.

SEC Commissioner Hester Pearce, known for her support of reasonable regulation of cryptocurrencies, emphasized the importance of these discussions.

The move signals a possible softening of the regulator's stance on the crypto market. Since the beginning of the year, the SEC has dropped investigations into OpenSea, Uniswap, Robinhood, and Gemini. This may indicate a shift from harsh enforcement measures to a more transparent regulatory framework.

The new US administration, favoring the development of the crypto market, may make significant changes to its regulation. The information is reported by Crypto.news.
