The Securities and Exchange Commission’s Crypto Task Force has announced the agenda and panelists for its June 9 roundtable, “DeFi and the American Spirit.”
“DeFi exemplifies the promise of crypto, as it allows people to interact without intermediaries,” said Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, head of the Crypto Task Force. “I look forward to learning from the panelists about how we can create a regulatory environment in which DeFi can thrive.”
The roundtable, announced in March as part of a series, will be held at the SEC’s headquarters at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The event will be open to the public and webcast live on the SEC’s website. Doors will open at noon.
For online attendance, registration is not necessary; a link to watch the event will be available on June 9 on www.sec.gov. For in-person attendance, please register in advance.
Attendees will be able to pose questions to the panelists during a townhall portion of the event, or by emailing crypto@sec.gov during the event.
