SEC Prepares Round Table Meeting on DeFi with Significant Financial Sector Interest
The cryptocurrency task force of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is preparing for an important event: a round table meeting on DeFi. Initially scheduled for June 6, the event has been moved to June 9 at the SEC headquarters in Washington, D.C.
With the theme "DeFi and the American Spirit", the event has attracted significant attention from Wall Street giants, cryptocurrency developers, and the public. The vibrant atmosphere surrounding DeFi creates an irresistible appeal for this discussion.
DeFi is increasingly playing a leading role on the global financial map, allowing the elimination of traditional intermediaries like large banks. This trend stimulates innovation but also raises questions about legality, security, smart governance, and accountability. Therefore, the SEC has proactively summoned multiple stakeholders to discuss appropriate legal frameworks for DeFi.
The meeting's focus revolves around smart contract mechanisms, Token control rights, and how automated systems can ensure fairness for users. These are essential issues directly affecting the scalability and trust in DeFi protocols.
Commissioner Hester Peirce, who leads the council, emphasized the desire for open, transparent dialogue between regulators, developers, and cryptocurrency investor communities. The SEC aims for a balanced approach that protects investors while not stifling technological innovation.
The meeting also addresses the Tokenization of tangible assets like watches and artworks, enabling conversion into digital assets and trading on blockchain. This marks a significant step in bridging real assets and the digital world, reshaping capital flows in the global market.
The round table brings together renowned individuals and organizations in the field: Michael Jordan (Co-founder of DBA), Rebecca Rettig (Legal Director of Jito Labs), Gabriel Shapiro (CEO of MetaLeX), Peter Van Valkenburg (Director of Coin Center), along with many other experts. Their participation will create an in-depth discussion atmosphere about the future of DeFi in the United States and worldwide.
