The US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Crypto Task Force will be hosting four more discussions in the industry this spring, on topics that come from tokenization to decentralized finances (DEFI).
The first cycle of the Crypto Task Force discussion-the kick-off of what commissioner Hester Peirce, the head of the Task Force, called the “SEC SPRINT SPRINT to Crypto clarity”-was held in Washington, DC, last Friday. A dozen industry lawyers spoke about issues related to the security status of the tokens.

“The Crypto Task Force Roundtables is an opportunity for us to hear a lively discussion with experts about what regulatory issues are and what the commission can do to solve them,” Peirce said in an announcement on Tuesday.
Circle discussions are just one example of the radical SEC -overhaul of the SEC of its crypto regulation. As the agency moves from so-called “regulation by implementation” conducted by former Chair Gary Gensler, its new leadership-along with the Pierce and acting chair Mark Uyeda-has signed a desire to improve their cooperation with the crypto industry and provide clearer guidelines for industry regulations.
The next discussion of the discussion in the series, “between a block and a difficult place: the regulation of arrangement for the Crypto trade” was completed for April 11. The following discussions will cover topics including Crypto Care (April 25), Tokenization (May 12), and Decentralized Financial (June 6). Each of the circle discussions will take place in Washington, DC, and will also livestreamed.
