U.S SEC updates agenda for its Dec. 15 roundtable on crypto
On Friday, December 5, 2025, the U.S. SEC announced that its upcoming roundtable public event will include new panelists. The SEC’s roundtable, led by Commissioner Hester Peirce, also the head of the Crypto Task Force, will include privacy-focused crypto executives led by Zcash (ZEC) founder Zooko Wilcox.
The other privacy-centric crypto executives include:
- Jill Gunter, Chief Strategy Officer, Espresso Systems
- Koh, CEO and Executive Director, Aleo Network Foundation
- Simon Letort, Head of Strategic Initiatives, Digital Asset
- Nikhil Raghuveera, Co-Founder and CEO, Predicate
- Wayne Chang, Founder & CEO, SpruceID
The moderator of the discussion on Financial Surveillance and Privacy will be Yaya Fanusie, the Senior Advisor, Crypto Council for Innovation, and Global Head of Policy at Aleo Network Foundation. The discussion has coincided with the global debate of privacy in tokenization of securities, which is expected to skyrocket globally in two years fueled by decentralized financial (DeFi).
Already, Poland has failed to implement the EU’s MiCA regulations on the grounds of privacy and surveillance. As such, four commissioners, including Chair Atkins, Mark Uyeda, and Peirce, will be present at the roundtable to listen and learn from on ways to legalize the onboarding of U.S. financial capital markets on the blockchain in a privacy-centric manner in the near future.

Why Now?
The SEC Chair Paul Atkins is keen to help President Donald Trump deliver his promise of making the United States a leader in the crypto market. Furthermore, there are several Executive Orders to help legalize crypto in America as the race between global central banks heats up.
During an interview on Friday, Chair Atkins said tokenization of securities is paramount to update the financial systems. Moreover, blockchain technology offers the SEC the ability to globalize the capital market in the United States.
The SEC and other federal agencies have helped President Trump accelerate crypto adoption in the United States legally. The bid to embed privacy in tokenized securities is expected to attract more global institutional investors, which is a means to the end for attracting multi dollar-trillion investment from the global market.
“I look forward to this chance for the SEC, other federal regulators, and the public to learn from the roundtable participants about how these new tools work,” Commissioner Peirce noted.
