The initiative follows the recent unveiling of “Project Crypto,” a program aimed at shaping a more adaptable and innovation-friendly regulatory landscape for the digital asset sector.
Led by Commissioner Hester Peirce, the SEC’s Crypto Task Force will host multiple roundtables in different cities, offering smaller crypto startups—especially those with fewer than ten employees and less than two years in operation—a chance to be heard. This marks a shift from the Commission’s earlier gatherings, which were largely attended by major players such as BlackRock and Fidelity.
According to Peirce, the goal is to connect with individuals and projects that might have been left out of previous policy discussions, particularly those unable to attend earlier sessions in Washington, D.C. She stressed that any future regulations will have wide-ranging consequences, making it essential to gather a broad spectrum of perspectives before moving forward.
The SEC has confirmed that these “on-the-road” roundtables will run between August 4 and December 5, spanning ten cities. The first stop will be Berkeley on August 4, followed by Boston on August 19, Dallas on September 4, Chicago on September 15, and New York City on September 25. October’s schedule includes events in Irvine on the 3rd, Cleveland on the 24th, and Scottsdale on the 29th. The final two sessions will take place in New York City on November 12 and Ann Arbor on December 5.
By expanding the conversation beyond financial powerhouses and into the heart of local crypto communities, the SEC aims to ensure its upcoming policies reflect the realities of both large institutions and smaller innovators working on the front lines of blockchain development.
