#CryptoRoundTableRemarks In the latest roundtable of the SEC regarding cryptocurrencies, experts' opinions addressed DeFi, code, and regulations:

• SEC Chair Atkins: “Engineers should not be held accountable for how others use their code.”

• Hester Peirce: “Code is protected speech under the First Amendment.”

• Erik Voorhees: “Smart contracts are a functional improvement compared to human regulators.”

• Others argued that decentralization is not lawless — it is transparent, predictable, and user-driven.

💬 What is your opinion on these remarks? Should DeFi developers be protected like creators of open-source software — or held accountable like financial intermediaries? How should regulations evolve as finance becomes increasingly code-based?
