#CryptoRoundTableRemarks

The recent Crypto Task Force roundtables—covering tokenization, DeFi, and custody—highlight just how multifaceted the crypto ecosystem has become. From SEC Chair Atkins’ keynote emphasizing bespoke frameworks around issuance, custody, and trading, to Commissioner Crenshaw’s call for deliberate, rule‑based clarity through formal policymaking , these discussions mark a clear shift from ad‑hoc enforcement to structured regulation. The focus on streamlining tokenized securities and improving investor protections has sparked hope, but also underlines the importance of getting policies right over rushing them. As innovation collides with regulatory rigor, we must ensure the U.S. becomes a true global leader in crypto—by balancing agility with oversight. How can this momentum translate into real‑world adoption while still guarding against risk?
