#CryptoRoundTableRemarks At the last SEC roundtable on cryptocurrencies, key figures spoke on issues of DeFi, code, and regulation:
• SEC Chair Atkins: “Engineers should not be held responsible for how others use their code.”
• Hester Peirce: “Code is protected speech under the First Amendment.”
• Erik Voorhees: “Smart contracts are a step forward compared to human regulators.”
• Others argued that decentralization is not lawlessness — it is transparent, predictable, and user-oriented.
💬 What is your opinion on these remarks? Should DeFi developers have the same protections as open-source creators, or should they be held accountable like financial intermediaries? How should regulation evolve as finance becomes more code-based?
