US SEC Sets Agenda For Crypto Privacy Roundtable Due December 15

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced the agenda and panelists for its Roundtable on Financial Surveillance and Privacy, set for December 15 at its Washington, D.C. headquarters.

Led by Commissioner Hester Peirce and the Crypto Task Force, the event will examine how crypto technologies fit within U.S. surveillance and compliance rules and will be open to the public online.

The roundtable comes as regulators, exchanges, and developers face heightened scrutiny of privacy tools following cases tied to Tornado Cash and Samourai Wallet. The SEC stressed that participation does not imply endorsement.

According to the SEC, the roundtable will examine how new technologies might adjust financial-surveillance practices while preserving civil liberties.

Discussions will cover how privacy tools work, the role of cryptographic proofs, and whether current reporting rules can adapt to decentralized systems.
