SEC Cryptocurrency Working Group to Host 10 Roundtable Meetings Across the United States

BlockBeats News, August 2nd, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Commissioner Hester Peirce will embark on a ten-city tour this fall as part of the SEC's newly launched cryptocurrency public engagement initiative. The regulatory agency announced on Friday that it will hold a series of roundtable meetings aimed at soliciting feedback from industry stakeholders, developers, and investors on the digital asset regulations the agency is considering.

“The cryptocurrency working group is keenly aware that any regulatory framework will have far-reaching impacts, and we want to ensure that our public engagement is as comprehensive as possible,” Peirce said in a statement. The agency's cryptocurrency working group is “particularly interested” in meeting with cryptocurrency startups that have been in existence for less than two years and have fewer than 10 employees. These roundtable discussions will take place between August and December.

SEC's many roundtable meetings held in 2025 have received feedback from cryptocurrency institutions such as a16z Crypto and traditional asset management companies such as BlackRock. In previous roundtable discussions, the cryptocurrency working group has explored topics such as cryptocurrency regulation, custody, tokenization, and decentralized finance.
