The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has scheduled its second crypto regulation roundtable

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has scheduled its second crypto regulation roundtable for April 11, continuing its effort to engage with the digital asset industry.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is holding its second crypto regulation roundtable on April 11, continuing its effort to engage with the industry.

The event, announced via the SEC’s X (formerly Twitter) account, is part of the SEC Crypto Task Force initiative.

The first roundtable, held on March 21, focused on how existing securities laws apply to crypto assets.

The task force, led by SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, is working to provide clear guidance on the classification and oversight of digital assets.

A key topic of discussion is whether cryptocurrencies should be regulated as securities or commodities.

This has implications for registration, investor disclosures, and compliance obligations.

In a significant policy shift, the SEC has recently withdrawn several enforcement actions against major crypto companies.

Legal threats toward Coinbase (NASDAQ:), Kraken, Consensys, and Cumberland were dropped.

This follows a broader narrative of regulatory recalibrations.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse confirmed last month that the SEC has abandoned its ongoing legal battle against Ripple.

The case, which began in 2020, remains under appeal.

Additionally, the SEC informed a federal judge that it is open to exploring a resolution in its suit against Gemini.

The crypto exchange, founded by the Winklevoss twins, is also facing a lawsuit from the SEC.

Meanwhile, Paul Atkins, the nominee for SEC chairman, received approval from the Senate Banking Committee.

The vote was close, with 13 senators voting in favor and 11 voting against.

Atkins's nomination will now proceed to the full Senate for a vote.

The April 11 roundtable is expected to provide fresh insights into the SEC's evolving approach to crypto regulation.

It will also offer industry stakeholders a platform to contribute to the regulatory dialogue shaping the future of digital assets.
