#SECCryptoRoundtable
The SEC Crypto Task Force held its inaugural roundtable on March 21, 2025, titled "How We Got Here and How We Get Out – Defining Security Status." This event marked the beginning of a series aimed at establishing a clear regulatory framework for crypto assets. Discussions focused on applying existing securities laws to digital assets, exploring how the Howey test, established in 1946, applies to modern cryptocurrencies. Panelists included legal experts, industry representatives, and former regulators, such as John Reed Stark, who emphasized the importance of investor protection and adherence to current securities laws. The roundtable is part of the SEC's broader initiative to balance innovation with investor protection in the rapidly evolving crypto market. citeturn0search0turn0search8
