The US SEC will hold a roundtable on December 15 to discuss cryptocurrency privacy issues.

Jinse Finance reported that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Crypto Assets and Cyber Unit has announced it will hold a roundtable on December 15 to specifically discuss the increasingly prominent issues of privacy and financial surveillance within the cryptocurrency ecosystem. The meeting will invite industry leaders and SEC officials to jointly explore the challenges faced by the industry and possible solutions. The background of this meeting is the recent widespread attention to privacy issues in the crypto industry, including the partial guilty verdict for Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm, the sentencing of Samourai Wallet developers, and the significant price surge of privacy coins over the past two months. Notably, Matthew Galeotti, Acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Criminal Division, stated in August that the practice of prosecuting developers solely for writing open-source code would cease, emphasizing that writing code itself does not constitute a crime in the absence of malicious intent.
