There is no denying that 2025 has brought with it a complete overhaul of the United States crypto policy. Indeed, a massive part of that has been the realignment of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which will continue that with four new crypto roundtables that are set to take place.
According to a statement issued this week, the agency is set to bring four new crypto-focused sessions. Specifically, they are set to continue the agency’s pro-crypto approach. However, let’s explore a little more about what these conversations will actually be covering.

SEC Hosting Four New Crypto Roundtables as Crypto Shift Continues
Entering the year, the US had taken a firm anti-crypto stance under the previous administration. A key part of that was the SEC, which had adopted a regulation by enforcement approach to governing the emerging asset class.
However, that all changed with the return of Donald Trump to the White House. Indeed, his arrival has seen the country welcome its first pro-crypto president and a new wave of ideas. A key part of that was introducing a Crypto Task Force in his SEC; that commission will now conduct four new crypto roundtables, as announced by the agency this week.

Specifically, the SEC will conduct the discussion as part of “its ongoing series discussion on crypto asset regulation.” Each of these roundtables will have a specific function, exploring areas of the industry such as cryptocurrency trading, custody, tokenization, and decentralized finance (DeFi).
The agency announced the four roundtables as follows:
- Between a Block and a Hard Place: Tailoring Regulation for Crypto Trading (April 11, 2025)
- Know Your Custody: Key Considerations for Crypto Custody (April 25, 2025)
- Tokenization—Moving Assets Onchain: Where TradeFi and DeFi Meet (May 12, 2025)
- DeFi and the American Spirit (June 6, 2025)
Each of these gatherings will be open to the public, the agency said in the statement. Moreover, those who can’t attend in person will be able to observe the roundtable, which is streamed live on the SEC website. Altogether, the discussions and trajectory show that the agency is as committed to its cryptocurrency regulatory approach as anything.
