The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is hosting a new roundtable meeting that brings together significant players from the cryptocurrency world. Scheduled to take place at the SEC’s headquarters in Washington, representatives from companies such as Coinbase, Uniswap Labs, and Cumberland DRW will participate. This noteworthy event aims to foster dialogue within the cryptocurrency sector, which is grappling with uncertainties. The SEC also announced that the meeting will be publicly broadcast online.
Former Rivals Unite at the Table
Set for April 11, the event titled “Adapting Regulation for Cryptocurrency Trading: Between a Block and a Hard Place” will be the second in a series of sessions aimed at shedding light on SEC’s cryptocurrency regulations. Panel speakers will include Katherine Minarik, legal director of Uniswap Labs; Gregory Tusar, vice president of institutional products at Coinbase; and Chelsea Pizzola, legal advisor at Cumberland DRW.
These three companies have previously faced serious legal issues with the SEC. Notably, Coinbase was sued in 2023 for allegedly violating securities laws under the leadership of then-SEC Chairman Gary Gensler. However, in February 2025, the SEC withdrew the lawsuit. A lawsuit against Cumberland DRW began in October 2024 but was also recently withdrawn. Now, the representatives from these companies will sit down with the SEC to share their views on regulations that will shape the industry’s future.
New Era at the SEC: Pursuing Open Dialogue and Clarity
The event will also feature participation from SEC Vice Chairman Mark Uyeda and members Caroline Crenshaw and Hester Peirce. Peirce, who leads the SEC’s cryptocurrency task force, emphasizes the importance of public feedback in achieving regulatory clarity. In a statement made on Monday, Peirce noted, “Listening to public concerns and suggestions helps us provide a fair and understandable path for the industry.”
The SEC’s first session took place on March 21 and debated whether cryptocurrencies should be classified as securities. The third meeting is expected on April 25, focusing on “What to Know About Cryptocurrency Custody.” Two additional sessions are planned for May and June, covering topics of tokenization and decentralized finance respectively.
With these sessions, the SEC aims to reduce past tensions and establish a more transparent relationship with market participants. Active involvement from industry representatives could lead to future regulations that are more balanced and feasible.
