Original: “SEC Task Force Meets with Trump-Supporting Company to Discuss Cryptocurrency Regulation”
Led by Hester Peirce, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) cryptocurrency task force continues to meet with representatives from digital asset companies to discuss regulatory changes.
According to an announcement on April 24, the SEC task force disclosed its meeting with representatives from the cryptocurrency company Ondo Finance and the law firm Davis Polk and Wardwell to discuss "the issuance and sale of packaged, tokenized U.S. publicly traded securities." Ondo Finance previously donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund, while the law firm announced on April 22 that it would represent the U.S. president's social media company Truth Social in issuing cryptocurrency-related exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
According to the meeting application, Ondo Finance plans to discuss the registration requirements for tokenized securities, financial legal compliance, and the potential launch of a regulatory sandbox. Cointelegraph reached out to the company for comment but had not received a response by the time of publication.
The April 24 meeting is the latest initiative by the SEC cryptocurrency task force to engage with the industry following the departure of former chairman Gary Gensler. Former commissioner Paul Atkins, appointed by Trump, took over the agency's leadership after being sworn in on April 21, but has yet to take action on the proposed cryptocurrency agenda.
On April 25, the cryptocurrency task force will hold a roundtable discussion on custody services, with participants including representatives from Kraken, Anchorage Digital Bank, and WisdomTree. Since the approval of cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in 2024, many financial institutions have seen a significant increase in demand for U.S. digital asset custody.
It remains unclear how the SEC will approach cryptocurrency enforcement cases under Atkins' leadership. The commission stated it will continue to handle cases involving fraudulent activities but withdrew its complaint against Hex founder Richard Heart on April 21.
The agency has announced it will cease investigations or lawsuits against several companies, including Ripple, Coinbase, and Kraken. All three exchanges have either donated to Trump's 2024 campaign or inauguration fund or have executives who expressed support.
