Key Takeaways from the SEC's Latest Crypto Roundtable 🧠📜
At the recent SEC crypto roundtable, leading voices tackled the evolving landscape of DeFi, code accountability, and regulation:
SEC Chair Atkins emphasized that "Engineers shouldn’t be held liable for how others use their code."
Commissioner Hester Peirce reinforced the principle that "Code is protected speech under the First Amendment."
Erik Voorhees claimed that "Smart contracts are a step function improvement over human regulators."
Others echoed a key theme: Decentralization isn’t lawless — it’s transparent, predictable, and user-driven.
💬 The debate highlights growing recognition that code isn't just technical — it's political, legal, and societal. As DeFi expands, the lines between developer, regulator, and user keep blurring.
