#CryptoRoundTableRemarks

Yesterday, SEC Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw delivered closing remarks at the final Crypto Task Force roundtable (June 9, 2025), stressing that crypto is far from a single category and that issues like DeFi oversight, jurisdiction, registration, transparency, and retail protection remain unresolved . She emphasized that instead of rushing, the SEC must proceed thoughtfully through rulemaking with notice-and-comment to build lasting frameworks. Meanwhile, Chairman Paul Atkins affirmed at an earlier roundtable that the SEC can act now—on crypto custody and brokerage rules—using existing authority while awaiting congressional directives . Together, these discussions—marking the final of five—underscore the SEC’s transition from dialogue to deliberate policymaking.
