- SEC will host its second crypto roundtable on April 11 to discuss trading rules with major industry figures.
- Coinbase and Uniswap executives will attend after recent SEC lawsuits against them were dropped earlier this year.
- SEC is reviewing past crypto guidance to align with new priorities under the Trump administration and DOGE unit.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has confirmed the next roundtable in its crypto regulation series. Set for April 11, the session will explore how the agency should shape crypto trading rules. The roundtable is part of a broader initiative called “Spring Sprint Toward Crypto Clarity.”
This event marks the second in a five-part series led by the SEC’s Crypto Task Force. The series aims to gather input from market leaders, legal experts, and academics on digital asset oversight.
Executives From Major Crypto Firms to Attend
Participants include top legal and product executives from Uniswap Labs, Coinbase, and Cumberland DRW. These companies were previously targeted by the SEC. In 2023, the regulator sued Coinbase and Cumberland for alleged securities violations. In 2024, it launched an investigation into Uniswap Labs.
All three cases were dropped under the Trump administration. The SEC closed the Uniswap case in February without enforcement. The inclusion of these executives signals an effort to involve firms that have faced scrutiny.
Representatives from the New York Stock Exchange and FalconX will also join the panel. Texture Capital CEO and the University of California, Berkeley finance chair will participate. Advocacy group leaders and a partner from Goodwin Procter will also attend. The discussion will be moderated by the law firm partner.
SEC Leadership and Staff to Join the Dialogue
Acting SEC Chair Mark Uyeda will attend alongside Commissioners Caroline Crenshaw and Hester Peirce. The Crypto Task Force chief of staff Richard Gabbert will also represent the agency. Their presence reflects the commission’s focus on reshaping its digital asset policy.
The roundtable follows the March 21 session, which addressed crypto’s legal classification. The remaining three events will cover custody, tokenization, and decentralized finance.
Review of Existing Crypto Guidance Underway
In parallel, the SEC has started reviewing seven staff-issued crypto statements. Five of them are related to digital asset policy. The review follows Trump’s executive order on deregulation and guidance from the Department of Government Efficiency.
The first document up for review is a 2019 framework outlining how crypto tokens could qualify as securities. This framework had previously supported legal action against crypto firms.
Other documents under review include two Investment Management statements. One warns of risks tied to Bitcoin futures funds, while another seeks input on custody standards.
The SEC will also revisit a 2022 disclosure reminder for companies affected by crypto bankruptcies. A 2021 exam alert on investor risks in crypto securities trading is also being reviewed.
