SEC Roundtable Addresses Financial Surveillance and Data Privacy in Crypto
- The SEC roundtable is scheduled for December 15, from 1 P.M. to 5 P.M. ET.
- Two panels will discuss privacy risks in crypto markets, focusing on data collection and security.
- The event was rescheduled from October due to a federal government shutdown.
- Participants include privacy researchers, federal regulators, blockchain developers, and crypto executives.
- Public comments will be taken during the meeting, with coordination from the CFTC for consistent regulation.
This roundtable aims to address concerns over inadequate data protection that has led to distrust in digital asset markets, impacting wider adoption of cryptocurrencies.
The outcomes of this SEC roundtable may influence policy discussions as it seeks to understand how long companies retain user data and the effectiveness of current surveillance tools. (Source)
