SEC and CFTC Launch Pro-Crypto Regulatory Initiative Amid Trump’s Push for US Dominance

The SEC and CFTC are coordinating a joint regulatory push to engage with the crypto industry, aligning with former President Donald Trump's vision of positioning the US as a global crypto hub. Starting August 1, the SEC will host a nationwide series of roundtables targeting small crypto firms—particularly those with fewer than 10 employees and less than two years of operation—to gather input for rewriting digital asset regulations.

SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce emphasized the need for inclusive outreach, noting the Crypto Task Force's awareness of regulatory impacts. "We want to hear from those who couldn’t attend prior Washington, D.C. roundtables," Peirce stated. The tour runs from August to December, kicking off in Berkeley, California, and ending in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
