#SECCrytoRoundtable

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) held its first cryptocurrency roundtable on March 21, 2025, marking a milestone in the regulation of digital assets. The event brought together legal experts, former officials, and industry representatives to discuss regulatory approaches that balance innovation and investor protection.

During the session, Miles Jennings, general counsel of a16z Crypto, criticized the SEC's previous strategy, stating that it failed to protect investors or foster efficient markets. Jennings emphasized the need for a more effective regulatory approach that supports the sector's sustainable growth.
