SEC and CFTC Host Crypto Regulation Roundtable

The SEC and CFTC are set to host a roundtable on crypto regulation and privacy in Washington, D.C. on September 29, 2025.

This roundtable could address regulatory uncertainty and harmonize standards, impacting market stability and investor confidence.

SEC and CFTC Target Regulatory Harmonization for Crypto

The SEC and CFTC’s joint roundtable aims to discuss regulatory harmonization for crypto markets. This could address current jurisdictional overlaps and bring about needed clarity. Key figures like SEC Chairman Paul S. Atkins and CFTC Acting Chairman will host, focusing on how these agencies can work in tandem.

Market Stability Hinges on Crypto Regulation Clarity

The roundtable’s outcome may significantly affect United States crypto markets. Institutional players might be more inclined to enter markets with reduced uncertainty. Potential financial clarity could alter business strategies and investor behaviors, particularly affecting BTC, ETH, and regulated stablecoin markets.

Lessons from 2018–2022: Stability through Compliance

In past instances, such as 2018–2022 events, similar discussions led to volatility but also eventual stabilization through compliance. Experts suggest harmonizing regulations may encourage growth, drawing parallels to successful models from European MiFID II consultations.

Paul S. Atkins, Chairman, SEC: “It is a new day at the SEC and the CFTC, and today we reaffirm the need to ensure regulation does not stand in the way of progress. By working in lockstep, our two agencies can harness our nation’s unique regulatory structure into a source of strength for market participants, investors, and all Americans.”
