SEC virtual asset task force to pursue meetings with virtual asset projects

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) virtual asset (cryptocurrency) task force (TF) is traveling nationwide to pursue meetings with industry stakeholders.

On the 17th (local time), the SEC said on its official X (formerly Twitter), "The SEC virtual asset task force is coordinating a schedule for virtual asset industry stakeholders to meet with Commissioner Hester Peirce and her team."

Earlier, the SEC had said the virtual asset task force plans to hold roundtable meetings across the United States. These meetings are intended to actively solicit the opinions of stakeholders who have been relatively marginalized in the virtual asset policy decision-making process. In particular, participation from small projects that have been established for less than two years or have 10 or fewer employees is expected.

The SEC plans to disclose a list of projects participating in the meetings at a later date. However, it made clear that a project's attendance does not imply endorsement of that project or its affiliates.
