#CryptoRoundTableRemarks

Today the topic in focus is regulation — a subject that frequently arises and is of great importance to all of us who operate in stock exchanges and brokerage firms.

Round tables serve as a space to discuss how cryptocurrencies should be treated by laws. One of the main questions is whether they should be classified as securities (like stocks), as commodities (like gold or oil), or in another specific category.

Another essential point is finding ways to protect investors without hindering the development of new technologies. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been promoting several of these discussions precisely to try to clarify how the rules should be applied to the crypto-assets market.
