Crypto Task Force: On the Road

Following five insightful roundtables in Washington D.C. and hundreds of written submissions from industry participants across the country, the SEC’s Crypto Task Force is hitting the road and coordinating opportunities for additional stakeholders to meet with Commissioner Hester Peirce, who leads the Crypto Task Force.

The Crypto Task Force wants to hear from those who weren't able to travel for the roundtables, and from voices that may have been historically underrepresented in other policymaking efforts. The Crypto Task Force is acutely aware that any regulatory framework will have far-reaching impact, so it wants to ensure that outreach is as comprehensive as possible.

Commissioner Peirce and members of the task force will be visiting several cities in the coming months, and they are particularly interested in hearing from representatives of crypto-related projects that have 10 or fewer employees and are less than two years old.
