#CryptoRoundTableRemarks #CryptoRoundTableRemarks The last round of discussions at the US regulatory body witnessed important debates about DeFi within the framework of "#CryptoRoundTableRemarks". SEC Chairman Gary Gensler emphasized that "engineers should not be held accountable for others using their code," stressing that maintaining self-custody of wallets is a core American value. Hester Peirce also stated: "Code is protected speech under the US Constitution." The speakers noted that the agency's initial guidance towards DeFi was stifling, but the current discussion paves the way for a regulatory framework that helps protect investors and enhance transparency without stifling innovation in the sector. A noticeable rise was seen in DeFi tokens such as UNI and AAVE after this event.
