The US SEC encryption special working group will hold a series of roundtable meetings in multiple locations across the country.

On August 2, according to official news, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced that its Crypto Task Force will visit multiple cities across the United States in the coming months to hold a series of roundtable meetings aimed at providing more stakeholders in the encryption field with the opportunity to communicate directly with SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce. This event particularly welcomes representatives from startup crypto projects with fewer than 10 employees and established for less than two years, ensuring that regulatory policy-making is more comprehensive and diverse. Commissioner Peirce stated that she hopes to hear the voices of those who were unable to attend this spring's roundtable meeting in Washington, emphasizing that the regulatory framework will have a profound impact on the industry, and the SEC hopes to achieve a more comprehensive outreach effect through extensive communication. Interested project representatives can submit applications via email, detailing team composition and project introduction, and indicating the cities they wish to participate in. The SEC plans to publicly disclose the list of participating projects to promote open and transparent dialogue and public engagement. This series of roundtable meetings is seen as a key initiative by the SEC to promote openness and inclusivity in crypto regulatory policy.
