SEC will hold a round table on cryptocurrencies

On April 11, 2025, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will hold the first specialized round table for cryptocurrency trading called “Between a Block and a Hard Place: Tailoring Regulation for Crypto Trading”.

The event will be the first in a series of four events announced in March. The purpose of these discussions is to create a clear legal framework for crypto companies, which have long been working in conditions of regulatory uncertainty.

Among the participants in the panel are top managers of crypto companies, in particular:

• Main Laiswap Labs Defi-Protocol Lawyer Katherine Minarik;
• Global Head of the FalConX revenue and business department Austin Reed;
• Deputy Main Law Council of Cumberland DRW Chelsea Pizzola;
• Vice President for Institutional Coinbase products Gregory Tusar.

In addition, representatives of traditional financial institutions will join the event, namely the director of the New York Stock Exchange, John Herrik and the general director of Healthy Markets Association Tyler Gellash.

Texture Capital, Urvin Finance, Goodwin Procter and the UC Berkeley Haas School of Business will also be participated.

The round table will begin with the opening of the SEC leaders, after which a two -hour panel discussion will take place, during which the participants will discuss potential ways to regulate current problems.

The approach corresponds to the legislative initiatives of the US presidential administration Donald Trump for regulation, in particular, his intention to approve the law on stablecoins, as well as the study of models for tokenized assets.

The next meetings should be held on April 25, May 12 and June 6.

Recall that the SEC is at the stage of reviewing a number of statements and the regulator’s manuals on the risks of the cryptocurrency sphere.
