It is the fourth SEC crypto roundtable, titled “Tokenization-Moving Assets Onchain: Where TradFi and DeFi Meet, “ and is all set to take place on May 12, 2025.

The meeting would start with the opening remarks of Richard B. Gabbert, Chairman, Paul S. Atkins, Commissioners Crenshaw, Uyeda, and the SEC’s Crypto Task Force, led by Hester M. Peirce.
Hester Peirce emphasized tokenization’s potential to transform financial markets and expressed interest in panelists’ insights on regulatory approaches.
“Tokenization is a technological development that could substantially change many aspects of our financial markets,” said Peirce before adding “I look forward to hearing ideas from our panelists on how the SEC should approach this area.”
In the list of panelists, key crypto representatives like Fidelity, BlackRock, and many others will join the SEC crypto roundtable. Interestingly, BlackRock met the SEC Crypto Task Force recently and had key discussions around tokenization and stakings.
