The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced that its Crypto Task Force will embark on a nationwide tour from August to December 2025 to engage directly with small cryptocurrency startups and gather their input on policy reform.
Led by Commissioner Hester Peirce, the Crypto Task Force aims to hear from projects that typically have fewer than 10 employees and have been operating for less than two years. This initiative seeks to broaden participation in crypto policymaking, especially from startups that could not attend previous roundtable discussions held in Washington, D.C.
The tour includes roundtable sessions across ten U.S. cities. These events are designed to provide a platform for smaller and newer crypto businesses to voice their perspectives, challenges, and concerns about the regulatory framework affecting their industry. Peirce emphasized the importance of comprehensive outreach, given that any regulatory decisions will have wide-ranging effects on the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency market.
The Crypto Task Force itself was created in January under acting SEC Chair Mark Uyeda, with a focus on developing clearer and more effective regulations for the digital asset space. By engaging small startups directly, the SEC hopes to foster a more inclusive dialogue that considers diverse viewpoints and supports innovation while ensuring investor protections. The outcomes of these roundtables may influence future SEC rulemaking, potentially serving as a model for regulatory engagement with emerging industries.
