#CryptoRoundTableRemarks In the latest round of the SEC's table on cryptocurrencies, expert voices referred to DeFi, code, and regulations:
• SEC Chair Atkins: “Engineers should not be held accountable for how others use their code.”
• Hester Peirce: “Code is protected speech under the First Amendment.”
• Erik Voorhees: “Smart contracts are a functional improvement over human regulators.”
• Others argued that decentralization is not illegal — it is transparent, predictable, and user-driven.
💬 What is your opinion on these remarks? Should DeFi developers be protected like open-source software creators — or held accountable like financial intermediaries? How should regulations evolve as finance becomes increasingly code-based?
