The U.S. SEC is once again spotlighting crypto — but this time, with open arms. In a positive move that could reshape how crypto trading is regulated in the U.S., the SEC is bringing together major crypto players for a roundtable discussion on April 11, 2025. The event, titled “Between a Block and a Hard Place,” will focus on how to better tailor trading regulations for digital assets.

This roundtable isn’t just another closed-door meeting. It’s part of the SEC’s bigger plan to gather real-world input before finalizing any rules. Interestingly, the public can tune in via livestream, and in-person attendees at SEC headquarters in Washington, D.C., can submit feedback through note cards or email during the event.

Big Names Back in the Room

Top execs from Uniswap, Coinbase, and Cumberland DRW, three firms that previously faced lawsuits from the SEC, are now being invited to help shape the rules. Those cases were dropped earlier this year under the Trump administration, marking a shift toward friendlier crypto policies.

Representatives at the table will include Uniswap’s Chief Legal Officer Katherine Minarik, Coinbase’s VP Gregory Tusar, and Cumberland’s Chelsea Pizzola. Alongside them will be key voices from traditional finance, such as the New York Stock Exchange and Texture Capital, showing the SEC’s interest in blending old-school markets with new blockchain-based systems.

Part of a Bigger Series

This roundtable is part of the SEC’s ongoing “Spring Sprint Toward Crypto Clarity,” a five-part webinar series launched by its Crypto Task Force. The first session, held in March, focused on crypto’s legal foundation. The coming sessions will dive into important topics like tokenization, DeFi, and custody of digital assets.

Changing Tone Under Trump Administration

The SEC’s renewed openness to input comes as the agency re-evaluates several past statements on crypto. Acting SEC Chair Mark Uyeda is reviewing old statements, among those up for review: a 2019 document explaining how crypto tokens might be treated as securities under the Howey Test and various advisories related to Bitcoin fund risks and crypto custody standards.

With industry players finally getting a seat at the table and old cases being dropped, this roundtable could signal a turning point in how crypto is treated at the federal level. Whether this leads to clearer regulations or deeper partnerships, all eyes are on what unfolds on April 11.
