SEC Crypto Task Force to host October 17 roundtable on financial surveillance and privacy

The SEC’s Crypto Task Force will host a public roundtable on financial surveillance and privacy at its Washington headquarters on October 17 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

The event will bring together panelists working on technologies to protect individual privacy and explore policy issues around surveillance in financial markets.

Commissioner Hester Peirce said the roundtable is intended to highlight how privacy-enhancing tools enable people to choose when and with whom to share sensitive information.

“Understanding recent developments in privacy-protecting tools will assist the SEC and other financial regulators as we work on policy solutions in the crypto space,” she said.

The roundtable is part of the SEC’s Crypto Clarity initiative and follows the President’s Executive Order and Working Group report on digital assets.
