The United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s Crypto Task Force will host its next roundtable, “Tokenization: Moving Assets Onchain – Where TradFi and DeFi Meet,” on 12 May 2025 from 1:00PM to 5:00PM ET.
Part of the US SEC’s ongoing series exploring regulatory approaches to crypto assets, the session will focus on tokenization’s potential to connect traditional finance (TradFi) with decentralised finance (DeFi). The roundtable is open for in-person registration, while the webcast will be available without registration. Tokenization has evolved from concept to commercial execution, with major institutions now piloting on-chain versions of bonds, funds, and real-world assets. TradFi giants like JPMorgan, BlackRock, and Citi are entering territory once native to DeFi becoming foundational to how assets will move and settle globally
Registration is now open for in-person attendance, while the virtual webcast remains freely accessible without registration. Those interested in contributing to the panel may contact crypto@sec.gov with “Potential Panelist” as the subject line.
This SEC roundtable appears to acknowledge that shift. By framing the discussion as a meeting ground for traditional finance and decentralised finance, the Commission is positioning itself at the centre of the convergence. Whether this results in policy clarity or tighter scrutiny remains to be seen — but the industry will be watching closely.
