The US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) crypto task force is expected to hold its first meeting later this month as it works on building a “workable, regulatory framework for crypto.”
In a statement, the agency said its “Spring Sprint Toward Crypto Clarity” series will begin on March 21. It will kick off its roundtable discussions with “How We Got Here and How We Get Out – Defining Security Status.”

Speaking about the recently dropped SEC lawsuit against Gemini, Cameron Winklevoss, Gemini’s co-founder, said:
“While this marks another milestone to the end of the war on crypto…it does little to make up for the damage this agency has done to us, our industry, and America.”
On Monday, the SEC informed our litigation counsel @JackBaughman27 that it has closed its investigation into @Gemini and will not be pursuing an enforcement action against us.
