- The SEC’s going nationwide with crypto roundtables, hosting in-person sessions in 10+ cities from August through December to gather broader community feedback.
- Commissioner Hester Peirce says this effort aims to include voices that weren’t able to attend spring meetings in D.C. and are often left out of policymaking.
- Anyone can join the convo—just email crypto@sec.gov with “Crypto on the Road” and your city to request an invite.
If you felt left out of the spring crypto talks in D.C., good news—the SEC wants to hear from you now. Commissioner Hester Peirce just announced a series of in-person crypto roundtables across the U.S., aimed at gathering more diverse input on what future regulation should look like. And yeah, this time it’s not just for the usual insiders or policy folks.
“We want to hear from people who weren’t able to make it to D.C.,” Peirce said. “We’re really trying to make sure no voice gets left out—especially with rules that’ll shape this whole space for years to come.”
The Crypto Task Force, led by Peirce, is organizing the tour, which spans the rest of 2025. Their goal? Cast a wider net. From devs and founders to traders and builders, they want to hear what’s working, what’s not, and what folks need in order to build confidently and legally.

How to Join the Conversation
It’s not just for big names or companies with lawyers on speed dial. Anyone with a stake in crypto—from DeFi users to NFT creators—can request to join. Just shoot an email to crypto@sec.gov with the subject line: “Crypto on the Road”. Don’t forget to include the city where you want to attend.
These discussions won’t just be coffee chats—they’ll influence how crypto is treated at the federal level. The SEC says it wants transparency, fairness, and most importantly, feedback from the actual people using and building the tech.
