#CryptoRoundTableRemarks

🎙️ SEC Event (June 11, 2025)

At the most recent SEC roundtable, key experts provided compelling insights on DeFi, open source, and regulation:

• SEC Chair Atkins: “Engineers should not be responsible for how others use their code.”

• Hester Peirce: “Code is protected speech under the First Amendment.”

• Erik Voorhees: “Smart contracts are an exponential improvement over human regulators.”

• Several participants highlighted that decentralization is not a lack of rules, but rather the opposite: transparency, predictability, and user-driven control.

💬 What is your opinion?

• Should DeFi developers receive the same protection as open-source creators 🚀 or face responsibilities like financial intermediaries?

• As finance transforms through the power of code, how should regulation evolve?
