#SECCryptoRoundtable
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently held its inaugural Crypto Task Force roundtable on March 21, 2025, titled "How We Got Here and How We Get Out – Defining Security Status." Led by Commissioner Hester Peirce, the session focused on how federal securities laws apply to digital assets, aiming to establish a clear regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies. Participants included industry experts, legal professionals, and academics, who discussed investor protection and the complexities of classifying digital assets as securities. This initiative reflects the SEC's shift towards collaborative rule-making, moving away from enforcement-driven approaches to foster innovation while ensuring investor protection.
