The cryptocurrency task force seeks to provide clarity regarding the application of federal securities laws to the cryptocurrency market and to recommend practical policy measures aimed at fostering innovation and protecting investors.

The cryptocurrency task force collaborates with agency staff and the public to help chart a new approach to regulating cryptocurrency assets. The focus of the cryptocurrency task force will include assets generally known as digital assets, cryptocurrencies, digital currencies, tokens, as well as protocols. The cryptocurrency task force will help delineate clear regulatory lines, appropriately distinguish between securities and non-securities, craft tailored disclosure frameworks, provide realistic pathways for the registration of both cryptocurrency assets and market intermediaries, ensure that investors receive the necessary information to make investment decisions, and ensure the wise allocation of enforcement resources.
