On March 21, 2025, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) held a roundtable titled "The Race Towards Clarity in Digital Currencies this Spring," discussing the regulatory frameworks for digital assets, particularly the issue of classifying them as securities.
During the session, Commissioner Hester Peirce emphasized that the commission is seriously working to establish workable policies to regulate the digital currency market, highlighting the importance of cooperation between regulators and companies operating in this space.
The discussions featured representatives from major digital currency companies, as well as legal and economic experts, where the need for clear guidelines to protect investors without stifling innovation was addressed.
This session comes amid increasing pressure on regulatory bodies to provide a clearer legal environment for the digital asset sector, which could impact the future of the market and investments from major companies in the field.
