The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) held its first seminar on March 21, 2025, to discuss the regulation of digital assets. This is an important step in reassessing the SEC's approach to the cryptocurrency market.

The seminar was hosted by a newly established working group on cryptocurrency under the leadership of Acting SEC Chair, Mark Uyeda. Key discussions revolved around the application of the Howey test to determine which digital assets should be classified as securities, as well as the possibility of developing a separate legal framework for cryptocurrency.

This event is part of a larger SEC initiative called "Spring Forward to Clarity in Cryptocurrency," aimed at improving the approach to cryptocurrency market oversight while considering innovation and investor protection. The outcomes of the discussions are expected to significantly impact the regulation of digital assets in the future in the U.S.
