Golden Finance reports that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) cryptocurrency special working group has announced it will hold a roundtable meeting on December 15 to specifically discuss the increasingly prominent issues of privacy and financial surveillance in the crypto assets ecosystem. The meeting will invite leaders from the crypto industry to explore the challenges facing the industry and potential solutions alongside SEC officials.
The background of this meeting is the recent widespread attention on privacy issues in the crypto assets industry, including the partial guilty verdict for Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm, the sentencing of Samourai Wallet developers, and the significant increase in the prices of privacy coins over the past two months.
It is worth noting that Matthew Galeotti, the Deputy Assistant Attorney General of the Criminal Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, issued a statement in August indicating that the practice of prosecuting developers solely for writing open source code will cease, emphasizing that writing code itself does not constitute a crime in the absence of malicious intent.
