🎙️ #CryptoRoundTableRemarks

During the recent SEC roundtable titled “DeFi and the American Spirit,” key figures such as Chairman Paul Atkins, Hester Peirce, and Caroline Crenshaw highlighted central ideas for the regulatory future of the crypto ecosystem. Atkins supported regulatory exemptions for DeFi projects and self-custody as part of foundational American values. Peirce stated that “code is speech protected by the First Amendment,” while Voorhees emphasized that smart contracts surpass human regulators. These statements mark a shift, paving the way for regulations more attuned to crypto innovation. This type of debate shows how authorities are beginning to balance investor protection with technological adaptability in a more transparent and modular environment.
