According to the announcement, the task force will concentrate on the main components of crypto asset regulations, registration protocols, pragmatic disclosure policies, and proper implementation of regulatory measures.
The SEC has, for a long time, dealt with crypto regulation in a more reactive manner, mainly through enforcement actions.
In a statement, the Commissioner Peirce pointed out the need for a wide range of stakeholder input.
“This undertaking will take time, patience, and much hard work. It will succeed only if the Task Force has input from a wide range of investors, industry participants, academics, and other interested parties.” she said.
The new Task Force welcomes the public to provide valuable inputs and anticipates holding roundtables in the future.
