Source: Cointelegraph.com NewsThe US Securities and Exchange Commission has released the list of executives from US crypto and finance giants that will take part in a roundtable discussion on crypto trading regulation.
\nOn April 7, the regulator said its upcoming April 11 roundtable will discuss how it should handle crypto trading rules, calling it \u201cBetween a Block and a Hard Place: Tailoring Regulation for Crypto Trading.\u201d
\nIt will be the second in a series of discussions on crypto, headed by its recently-formed Crypto Task Force.
\nTaking part are Uniswap Labs chief legal officer Katherine Minarik, Cumberland DRW associate general counsel Chelsea Pizzola and Coinbase institutional product vice president Gregory Tusar \u2014 all firms that had once been in the regulator\u2019s scope.
\nUnder the Biden administration, the regulator sued Cumberland DRW in October and Coinbase in June 2023 for alleged securities law violations, but both lawsuits were dropped this year under the Trump administration.
\nThe SEC also started an investigation for possible enforcement action into Uniswap Labs in April 2024, which was dropped in February with no further action.
\nAlso taking part in the roundtable are New York Stock Exchange product chief Jon Herrick, crypto brokerage FalconX business lead Austin Reid, securities tokenizing firm Texture Capital CEO Richard Johnson and the University of California, Berkeley finance chair Christine Parlour.
\nSource: SECDave Lauer, co-founder of the advocacy group We the Investors and Tyler Gellasch, CEO of the not-for-profit Healthy Markets Association, will also take part, while law firm Goodwin Procter partner Nicholas Losurdo will moderate the discussion.
\nRepresenting the SEC will be acting chair Mark Uyeda, Crypto Task Force chief of staff Richard Gabbert and Commissioners Caroline Crenshaw and Hester Peirce.
\nThe roundtable is the second crypto-focused discussion in a series of five that the SEC dubbed the \u201cSpring Sprint Toward Crypto Clarity.\u201d The first was on March 21, regarding the legal status of crypto, while three future discussions will cover custody, tokenization, and decentralized finance (DeFi).
\nSEC\u2019s Uyeda orders review of staff crypto comments
\nThe roundtables come as the SEC, under President Donald Trump, works to revamp its oversight of the crypto industry, with its latest action being to review staff statements on crypto so they can possibly be changed or withdrawn.
\nUyeda said in an April 5 statement shared by the SEC on X that due to Trump\u2019s executive order on deregulation and recommendations from the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, he was reviewing seven staff statements, five of which concerned crypto.
\nSource: SEC\u201cThe purpose of this review is to identify staff statements that should be modified or rescinded consistent with current agency priorities,\u201d Uyeda said.

\nThe first on the list was an April 2019 analysis from the Strategic Hub for Innovation and Financial Technology on how crypto sales could be investment contracts under the securities defining Howey test \u2014 an argument the agency had made to sue multiple crypto firms for legal violations.
\nAlso up for review are two Division of Investment Management statements, one from May 2021 asking investors to consider the risks of funds with exposure to Bitcoin futures and a November 2020 statement asking for feedback on whether state-chartered banks meet standards to be qualified custodians.
\nThe SEC will also look into a December 2022 Division of Corporation Finance statement that urged SEC-regulated companies to evaluate their disclosures to mention if a slew of crypto firm bankruptcies and collapses at the time impacted their business.
\nFinally, the agency will review a Division of Examinations alert from February 2021 that said, \u201ca number of activities related to the offer, sale and trading of digital assets that are securities present unique risks to investors.\u201d\u00a0
