#CryptoRoundTableRemarks The SEC's Crypto Task Force convened its fourth roundtable on May 12, 2025, focusing on "Tokenization – Moving Assets Onchain: Where TradFi and DeFi Meet." SEC Chair Paul Atkins emphasized the agency's commitment to establishing clear guidelines for digital asset issuance, custody, and trading, aiming to replace inconsistent staff guidance with formal commission-level actions.

Commissioner Hester Peirce highlighted the transformative potential of tokenization in traditional finance and the importance of regulatory engagement with industry experts.

This initiative aligns with the Trump administration's broader efforts to position the U.S. as a global hub for digital assets, including the establishment of a federal Bitcoin reserve. The roundtable series continues with a session on decentralized finance (DeFi) scheduled for June 9.
