The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will host a roundtable discussion titled ‘DeFi and the American Spirit’ on June 9, 2025, in Washington D.C. The event aims to foster regulatory clarity for decentralized finance (DeFi) and protect investors. Participants include SEC leadership and industry experts like Chairman Paul S. Atkins, Commissioner Hester M. Peirce known for her pro-crypto stance, and former Commissioner Troy Paredes. Key players from the DeFi ecosystem will also be present, including Jill Gunter of Espresso Systems, Michael Mosier of Arktouros, and Gabe Shapiro of MetaLeX. While no specific financial mandates are expected, these discussions could shape future regulatory frameworks for decentralized finance.
