The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced the formation of a Crypto Task Force, aimed at establishing a clear regulatory framework for crypto assets. Acting Chairman Mark T. Uyeda revealed that Commissioner Hester Peirce will lead the initiative, with Richard Gabbert and Taylor Asher serving as Chief of Staff and Chief Policy Advisor, respectively. The Task Force will focus on defining regulatory boundaries, creating feasible registration paths, and developing disclosure frameworks. This move follows the resignation of former SEC Chair Gary Gensler and aligns with broader efforts to ensure investor protection and market integrity.
