Coinbase, Uniswap Join SEC for First Crypto Trading Roundtable
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will host its first dedicated crypto trading roundtable on April 11, aimed at reshaping digital asset regulation. Titled "Between a Block and a Hard Place," this event is part of a four-part series intended to clarify regulatory frameworks for crypto companies. SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce emphasized the goal of achieving "crypto clarity" for the public. The panel will include executives from major crypto firms and traditional finance representatives, fostering dialogue between established and emerging market participants. The structured format includes opening remarks and a two-hour discussion on regulatory pathways. Cumberland DRW's Chelsea Pizzola has previously argued against regulating most non-security tokens as investment contracts. This roundtable represents a shift in the SEC's approach, aligning with pro-crypto initiatives from the Trump administration. Subsequent roundtables will address custody, asset tokenization, and decentralized finance. The April 11 session will be held from 1:00-5:00 PM ET, with both in-person and virtual attendance options available.
