Mary Uyeda is acting chair at the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
Paul Atkins’ confirmation as SEC chair has been delayed due to paperwork issues
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will host four more crypto roundtable discussions following its first one on March 21.
Organized by the SEC’s Crypto Task Force, the next one – Between a Block and a Hard Place: Tailoring Regulation for Crypto Trading – will take place on April 11, according to an announcement from the SEC.
The following discussions will occur on April 25, May 12, and June 6.
Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, leader of the Crypto Task Force, said: “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.”
The move to schedule more crypto roundtable discussions comes after the SEC’s first one earlier this month.
Changing attitudes
Launched on January 21 by acting SEC chair Mark Uyeda, the Crypto Task Force aims to provide a “comprehensive and clear regulatory framework for crypto assets.”
It also comes as the SEC shifts its view on the crypto industry.
Following the re-election of US President Donald Trump, the agency has undergone a significant change, dropping several lawsuits against crypto companies.
In recent weeks, these have included Coinbase, Gemini, Kraken, Robinhood Crypto, and Uniswap. Last week, Brad Garlinghouse, Ripple’s CEO, said the SEC will drop its appeal against the company.
Yesterday, Immutable said that the SEC had dropped its investigation into the web3 gaming platform, marking a major win for the company.
Uyeda took over the SEC reins after Gary Gensler resigned in January. Trump named Paul Atkins as the next SEC chair; however, his confirmation is being delayed due to paperwork issues.
