The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is set to host a series of roundtable discussions aimed at clarifying regulatory frameworks for crypto assets. The initiative, titled “Spring Sprint Toward Crypto Clarity,” will begin on March 21 with its first session, “How We Got Here and How We Get Out – Defining Security Status.”

The SEC’s Crypto Task Force, launched on January 21 by Acting Chairman Mark T. Uyeda, is spearheading these discussions to refine the Commission’s regulatory approach to digital assets. The first roundtable will be held at the SEC’s headquarters at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C., from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, who leads the task force, emphasized the importance of public engagement in shaping a fair and effective regulatory framework. “I am looking forward to drawing on the expertise of the public in developing a workable regulatory framework for crypto,” she said in the announcement.

The March 21 roundtable will be open to the public and streamed live on SEC.gov. A recording will be made available later. In addition to the main discussion, attendees will have the opportunity to join small group breakout sessions, though these will not be broadcast.

Due to security protocols, in-person attendance may be limited. The SEC will provide additional details regarding the agenda and speaker lineup on the Crypto Task Force webpage in the coming days.

The SEC’s Crypto Task Force was created to help establish clear regulatory guidelines for the crypto industry, focusing on registration pathways, disclosure frameworks, and enforcement strategies. With growing interest in digital assets and regulatory oversight, the task force aims to balance innovation with investor protection.

The SEC is also encouraging public input on crypto regulation beyond the roundtable discussions. Members of the public can submit their views and request meetings with the Crypto Task Force through official SEC channels.

This roundtable marks the first step in what is expected to be a series of discussions aimed at bringing clarity to the regulatory landscape of cryptocurrencies.
