The SEC’s new crypto task force is created to establish clear regulatory guidelines, realistic registration paths, sensible disclosure frameworks, and effective enforcement strategies. The task force aligns with Commissioner Peirce’s views, who has criticized Gary Gensler’s driven SEC’s past approach and advocated for industry input in policy-making. The task force will seek feedback from investors, industry participants, and academics through roundtables and the SEC’s crypto email address.
Recently the crypto task force was in news for holding meetings with representatives from Chia Network Inc. and Better Markets to discuss cryptocurrency regulation and strategies to combat fraud in the crypto space.
