The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is launching a nationwide series of crypto policy roundtables, beginning August 4 in Berkeley, California. The initiative, headed by Commissioner Hester Peirce, aims to engage early-stage crypto projects.
Commissioner Hester Peirce and the SEC Crypto Task Force lead these efforts, focusing on projects with fewer than 10 employees and less than two years old. Events will solicit industry feedback, promoting participation and transparency.
This outreach targets small crypto companies, potentially influencing broad market discussions. Projects are encouraged to share insights and concerns surrounding regulatory frameworks.
While no direct funding is announced, the events may indirectly affect future crypto regulations. The focus remains on collecting valuable input rather than implementing new rules immediately.
No specific cryptocurrencies are under scrutiny, according to the SEC’s initial releases. The roundtable series continues past practices of gathering industry insights for possible rule considerations.
Previous roundtables did not result in immediate regulatory changes but shaped understanding of governance tokens and DeFi protocol issues. Industry experts expect outcomes to influence future guidelines in the crypto sphere.
“Commissioner Peirce and members of the task force will be visiting several cities in the coming months, and they are particularly interested in hearing from representatives of crypto-related projects that have 10 or fewer employees and are less than two years old.” – Hester Peirce, Commissioner, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
