The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has launched a new Crypto Task Force, which will embark on a national outreach tour beginning this month.
The initiative, spearheaded by Commissioner Hester Peirce, is aimed at engaging directly with small crypto startups and bringing more diverse voices into the regulatory discussion.
According to a press release, the task force will travel to 10 cities from August through December, including Berkeley, Boston, Dallas, Chicago, and New York. These in-person sessions are specifically designed for early-stage crypto projects—those with fewer than 10 employees and less than two years of operating history.
Peirce emphasized that the tour seeks to reach builders and entrepreneurs who may have been unable to attend earlier SEC roundtables in Washington, D.C. “We want to broaden the range of participants in these important conversations,” she said.

The move highlights the SEC’s recognition that new regulations could significantly impact emerging crypto businesses. By expanding its outreach efforts, the agency hopes to better understand the needs and challenges of startups navigating the U.S. regulatory landscape.
This effort signals a shift toward more inclusive and localized engagement from federal regulators as the crypto industry continues to evolve rapidly.
