SEC to Host Nationwide Crypto Roundtables Targeting Small Projects

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is taking its crypto policy discussions on the road. Commissioner Hester Peirce will lead a series of roundtables designed to gather input from smaller market participants who've been historically underrepresented in regulatory conversations.

Focus falls squarely on early-stage ventures—particularly those with fewer than 10 employees operating for less than two years. 'We recognize our framework decisions create Ripple effects,' Peirce emphasized, underscoring the need for inclusive dialogue beyond Washington's traditional power centers.

Interested teams can request participation via [email protected], marking a rare opportunity for grassroots crypto builders to influence policy directly. The initiative reflects growing institutional acknowledgment that innovation often emerges from garage startups rather than corporate labs.
