The US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Crypto Task Force is hosting four additional roundtable discussions.
According to the regulator, the conversations will focus on key topics including tokenization and decentralized finance (DeFi), with the aim of engaging industry experts in an effort to shape the future of crypto regulations in the US.
Commissioner Hester Peirce, the leader of the Crypto Task Force, referred to this initiative as the SEC’s “Spring Sprint Toward Crypto Clarity.”

The first of these roundtables took place in Washington, D.C. on March 21, with a panel of a dozen industry lawyers who discussed the security status of tokens. Subsequent panels are planned as follows:
- April 11, 2025 - Between a Block and a Hard Place: Tailoring Regulation for Crypto Trading
- April 25, 2025 - Know Your Custodian: Key Considerations for Crypto Custody
- May 12, 2025 – Tokenization - Moving Assets Onchain: Where TradFi and DeFi Meet
- June 6, 2025 - DeFi and the American Spirit
“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,” Perice said.
Since the Trump administration took office, the SEC has moved swiftly to alter its stance on several key crypto policies.
Within a few short weeks, the agency has rescinded controversial crypto accounting guidance, dropped enforcement actions against major players in the crypto industry, established a dedicated crypto task force, and even issued a statement regarding memecoins.
