The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will host a crypto regulation roundtable on April 11, inviting key industry players. Executives from Uniswap Labs, Coinbase, and Cumberland DRW will join the session alongside traditional finance and academia representatives. The event marks the second in the SECs five-part series to shape future digital asset oversight.
Uniswap, Coinbase, and Cumberland DRW Join Regulatory Talks
Uniswap Labs, Coinbase, and Cumberland DRW will participate in the SECs discussion on evolving crypto regulation standards. The mentioned firms have endured SEC investigations, which did not lead to enforcement actions throughout this fiscal year. The SEC appears to have reviewed its previous position regarding digital assets regulation standards.
The representatives for Uniswap Labs will be Katherine Minarik, while Coinbase will be represented by Gregory Tusar and Cumberland DRW will be represented by Chelsea Pizzola. The executives have accumulated skills in leading the crypto market in legal compliance and share specialist insights regarding industry obstacles. Participation indicates both regulators and crypto platforms start a new phase of collaborative work.
The SEC has stopped launching cases, which suggests possible changes in regulatory actions. Through this roundtable, the different entities could align their regulatory expectations with the industrys current practices. It may also create clearer standards for future crypto regulation.
Traditional Finance, Academia, and Advocacy Groups to Contribute
The April 11 roundtable on crypto regulation will include participants from traditional financial institutions and academia. Jon Herrick, representing the NYSE, will participate, along with two additional participants from FalconX, led by Austin Reid and Texture Capital via Richard Johnson. Dr. Christine Parlour from UC Berkeley will discuss market structure from an academic point of view at the meeting.
In addition to these participants are Dave Lauer from We the Investors and Tyler Gellasch from the Healthy Markets Association. The participants from large institutions and investor groups will contribute additional viewpoints to address institutional concerns and transparency-related issues. The composition of multiple viewpoints will facilitate an unbiased exchange of opinions.
Nicholas Losurdo of Goodwin Procter will manage the structured and effective discussions at the panel. The SEC delegation for the panel discussion will consist of Acting Chair Mark Uyeda with Crypto Task Force Chief Richard Gabbert and Commissioners Crenshaw and Peirce. The session forms part of the SECs broader push to clarify crypto regulation through collaborative public forums.
Trump-Era Policies Shape SECs Current Crypto Regulation Approach
The SEC recently began reviewing past staff-issued guidance on crypto regulation, reflecting a policy shift under the Trump administration. Seven documents are under review by the agency, five of which contain important guidelines relating to digital asset rules and classifications. The 2019 FinHub framework provides guidelines about investment contracts under the Howey test.
The agencys April 4 release defines fiat-backed stablecoins as non-securities when certain criteria are met. All qualifying coins need to carry 1:1 ratio backing through U.S. dollar deposits or safe liquid assets that enable full redemptions. This update relieves qualified stablecoin companies from several reporting requirements.
According to the SEC, this review matches the deregulation directions of the Department of Government Efficiency, currently under Elon Musks leadership. These policy changes reflect a broader intent to simplify crypto regulation without compromising market integrity. Upcoming SEC series events will focus on DeFi, tokenization, and custody frameworks.
