SEC’s Final Crypto Roundtable: Ripple Case and DeFi Regulation on the Agenda

The SEC’s final crypto roundtable of 2023, titled ‘DeFi and the American Spirit,’ is taking place today. This pivotal meeting comes as the commission undergoes a significant leadership change following Gary Gensler’s departure. New chair Paul Atkins appears to favor greater dialogue with the crypto industry, potentially leading to less stringent regulations. 📍 The roundtable focuses on decentralized finance (DeFi) and smart contracts, exploring their implications for existing U.S. financial frameworks.
