According to the latest news, Hester Peirce, a commissioner of the SEC, is set to launch an important initiative this fall. As a key component of the SEC's newly introduced Crypto Assets public engagement program, Peirce will embark on a tour covering ten cities.

The SEC recently announced this plan, stating that it will organize a series of roundtable meetings to solicit feedback on the new regulations regarding digital assets that the agency is considering. These comments will come from various groups, including industry stakeholders, developers, and investors.

Peirce emphasized in a statement, "We fully understand that any regulatory framework will have a profound impact on the industry, so we want to ensure that our public engagement is as comprehensive as possible." It is particularly noteworthy that the SEC's Crypto Assets working group expressed a specific interest in engaging with crypto startups that have been established for less than two years and have no more than 10 employees.

These roundtable discussions are expected to take place from August to December. It is worth mentioning that the SEC has already received feedback from crypto assets institutions such as a16z Crypto and traditional asset management companies like BlackRock during several roundtable meetings held in 2025. In previous discussions, the crypto assets working group has conducted in-depth discussions on important topics such as crypto assets regulation, custody, tokenization, and decentralized finance.

The implementation of this tour reflects the SEC's high regard for the development of the Crypto Assets industry, and it also demonstrates the regulatory body's proactive attitude in striving to listen to various voices while formulating relevant policies. This undoubtedly has significant importance for promoting the healthy development and standardized management of the Crypto Assets industry.
