The SEC’s Crypto Task Force will host a roundtable on crypto trading regulations on April 11 in Washington, D.C. The roundtable aims to address industry concerns and guide regulatory clarity. The SEC has announced a series of roundtable discussions on crypto-related topics, open to the public, with the first one focused on crypto custody. The SEC's shift towards a pro-crypto regulatory environment comes amidst market volatility due to global trade tensions. The article also includes sponsored offers and content on crypto-related topics. The series of roundtable discussions were announced in March and include “Know Your Custodian: Key Considerations for Crypto Custody” on April 25, “Tokenization – Moving Assets Onchain: Where TradFi and DeFi Meet” on May 12, and “DeFi and the American Spirit,” on June 6. They are open to the public both in-person via registration and via live webcast. The move is a complete about-turn for the SEC, which has spent the past few years issuing lawsuits against American crypto companies. However, most of those investigations have now been closed or settled as the regulator operates under new leadership. The premise of a pro-crypto regulatory environment and the fostering of investment and innovation in the US sector has done nothing to prevent a massive market sell-off this week. Total capitalization tanked to a five-month low below $2.5 trillion this week as Bitcoin sunk and altcoins were obliterated. No amount of pro-crypto regulation is likely to influence sentiment in the current economic climate until the dust settles from the trade war and agreements are inked.
