U.S. SEC: The cryptocurrency working group will hold a roundtable to discuss financial surveillance and privacy

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) crypto working group, led by Commissioner Hester Peirce, will hold a public roundtable on "Financial Surveillance and Privacy" in Washington on October 17; this is the sixth event concerning digital asset issues since the departure of former Chairman Gary Gensler.

The SEC stated that the meeting will discuss introducing specific exemptions and safe harbors for crypto asset offerings and sales, and plans to adjust broker-dealer financial responsibility rules to alleviate compliance burdens in the U.S. Last week, the SEC and CFTC also indicated they would explore coordinated regulation of 24/7 trading hours and spot crypto trading.
