The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Crypto Task Force will host four public roundtables over the next three months to discuss key issues in cryptocurrency regulation.
The SEC <a href="https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2025-57" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announced</a> on its official website on Mar. 25 that these sessions, which will take place from April to June, will focus on important topics such as asset custody, tokenization, decentralized finance, and crypto trading regulations. This initiative is part of the SEC’s effort to create clearer rules for the industry.
The SEC Crypto Task Force has been working to strike a balance between investor protection and innovation since its <a href="https://crypto.news/acting-sec-chair-uyeda-launches-crypto-task-force/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">launch</a> in January. The roundtables will bring together experts in the fields of law, finance, and cryptocurrency to discuss how current regulations apply to digital assets and where new ones might be required,&nbsp;
SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, who has been a vocal advocate for thoughtful crypto regulation, stressed the importance of these discussions.

 “The Crypto Task Force roundtables are an opportunity for us to hear a lively discussion among experts about what the regulatory issues are and what the Commission can do to solve them,”

Since the start of the year, the agency has <a href="https://crypto.news/sec-drops-gemini-case-cameron-winklevoss-slams-regulatory-war-on-crypto/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">dropped</a> its previous investigations into several major crypto firms, including OpenSea, Uniswap (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/uniswap/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">UNI</a>), Immutable (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/immutablex/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">IMX</a>) Robinhood, and Gemini.
