Today: SEC Crypto Task Force to Discuss Privacy and Surveillance

The Securities and Exchange  Commission, Crypto Task Force, is holding another roundtable today (December 15, 2025). The topic of discussion is financial privacy and surveillance. As blockchain technology can provide broad capabilities for monitoring transactions, and the US government has been known to abuse its ability to invade individual privacy, the discussion should be of great interest.

The three Republican Commissioners, including the Chairman, will be in attendance.

The proceedings will be livestreamed on the SEC website beginning at 1 PM ET.

The agenda is republished below.
