The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is set to convene a roundtable discussion on May 12th, focusing on the pivotal theme of Tokenization and its role in merging Traditional Finance with Decentralized Finance. This initiative, part of a broader regulatory framework for cryptocurrency assets established in March, aims to facilitate dialogue on the integration of digital assets in financial markets. The event, which will take place at the SEC’s headquarters from 1:00 PM to 5:30 PM, is expected to attract significant interest and will be live-streamed on the SEC’s official website, ensuring public accessibility.
Additionally, the SEC has announced a rescheduling of its upcoming roundtable titled “DeFi and the American Spirit” to June 9th, shifting from the original June 6th date. Registered participants will automatically retain their slots, while new registrations are welcomed. Key figures from the SEC, including Chairman Paul S. Atkins and Commissioner Hester Peirce, are poised to engage alongside industry leaders from firms such as Fidelity and Nasdaq, further enriching the discourse on cryptocurrency regulation.
