#CryptoRoundTableRemarks In today's cryptocurrency roundtable, SEC Chair Atkins emphasized that engineers should not be held responsible for how others use their code, a revolutionary stance that reflects "no lawsuits against Ford when someone misuses their car." Commissioner Hester Peirce reinforced this, calling code "protected speech," a bold First Amendment argument. The conversation also highlighted innovation exemptions, the transparent rebuilding of DeFi, and the future of blockchain-AI integration. These comments are not just words; they signal a regulatory shift towards empowering creators and fostering institutional trust in the next wave of cryptocurrencies.
