#CryptoRoundTableRemarks

The Crypto RoundTable Remarks🎉

you're referring to seem to be related to a discussion held by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 25, 2025. According to reports, SEC Chair Paul Atkins emphasized the importance of self-custody rights as a "foundational American value" during the roundtable. Key points from the discussion include:

🎉1. Self-Custody Rights:

Atkins expressed support for affording greater flexibility to market participants to self-custody crypto assets, particularly where intermediation imposes unnecessary transaction costs or restricts on-chain activities.

🎉2. Regulatory Framework:

The SEC is considering changes to its regulatory approach, potentially introducing an "innovation exemption" framework to allow registrants and non-registrants to bring on-chain products and services to market under specified conditions.

🎉3. Decentralized Finance (DeFi):

Atkins described DeFi as embodying core American values of economic liberty, private property rights, and innovation, highlighting the need for regulatory frameworks that support innovation.
