The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced that its Crypto Task Force will be traveling across the country to hold a series of roundtable meetings.
The roundtables will be led by Commissioner Hester Peirce, a longtime advocate for open dialogue in crypto regulation and the leader of the SEC’s Crypto Task Force. These sessions are designed to give more people, especially those who couldn’t attend earlier events in Washington, D.C., a chance to share their thoughts on crypto regulations.
Focus on Small Crypto Projects
The SEC is particularly interested in hearing from smaller crypto projects, teams with 10 or fewer employees that have been in operation for less than two years. According to Commissioner Peirce, these kinds of projects often miss out on participating in important policy discussions, even though they are directly affected by regulatory decisions.
“The Crypto Task Force understands that any regulatory framework we adopt will have wide-reaching effects,” Peirce stated. “So we want to make sure we hear from as many voices as possible, especially those that are often left out.”
How to Participate
Teams that want to meet with Commissioner Peirce can send a request by email to crypto@sec.gov with the subject line “Crypto on the Road.” The message should include:
- The city where participants would like to meet
- Names of 1 or 2 representatives attending
- A brief description of the participant team and the project
The SEC will also publish a list of participating projects to keep the process open and transparent for the public.
The tour kicks off on August 4 in Berkeley, California, and includes stops in cities like Boston, Dallas, Chicago, New York, Irvine, Cleveland, Scottsdale, and Ann Arbor. The full schedule runs through December 5.
If a team is unable to attend one of the roundtables, the Crypto Task Force still encourages participants to share their thoughts through written feedback. The SEC remains committed to ensuring that crypto policymaking is inclusive, transparent, and well-informed, welcoming input from as many participants as possible.
