#CryptoRoundTableRemarks It sounds like the Crypto Round Table on May 12th was quite significant, focusing on a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) meeting. Based on the information available, here's a breakdown of what likely transpired:

The main event was a Crypto Task Force Roundtable on Tokenization, titled "Tokenization – Moving Assets Onchain: Where TradFi and DeFi Meet." This was held at the SEC's headquarters in Washington, D.C.

Key Discussion Points:

* Tokenization of Assets: The roundtable centered on the technological development of tokenization and its potential to change financial markets. Discussions likely involved the benefits, challenges, and regulatory implications of bringing traditional financial assets on-chain.

* Regulatory Framework: SEC Chairman Paul Atkins delivered a keynote address emphasizing the need to develop a "rational regulatory framework for crypto asset markets." He stated that this was a "key priority" of his chairmanship.

* Atkins suggested that current regulations designed for off-chain securities might hinder the growth of blockchain technology.

* He expressed the SEC's aim to contribute to the U.S. becoming the "crypto capital of the planet."

* He outlined three areas of focus for crypto asset policy:

* Establishing guidelines for the distribution of crypto assets that are securities.

* Providing more options for how registrants can custody crypto assets.

* Exploring conditional exemptive relief for those bringing new products to market.
