SEC Crypto Task Force: Back from Their “Vacay” 🌴💼

Well, well, well, look who’s back from their five-day “hiatus”! 🎉 The SEC’s Crypto Task Force has finally resumed meetings, because apparently regulating crypto is harder than deciding what to order for lunch. 🥪 On July 28, 2025, they met with Computershare Limited, marking their triumphant return to the public eye after what felt like an eternity (five days, to be exact). 🕰️

Apparently, these folks have been busy bees 🐝, buzzing around the digital asset space like it’s a crypto-themed flower garden. Their mandate? To “address issues” and “gather information” about cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. Aka, they’re trying to figure out how to make sense of this wild west of finance. 🤠

Last week was a real doozy for them. On July 22, 2025, Citadel Securities LLC swung by for a chat. A day earlier, they had a doubleheader—first with Adam Tomas and Brad Tonkin (who we assume brought snacks 🍿), and then with the Optimism Foundation, OP Labs PBC, and the legal wizards at WilmerHale. Because nothing says “productive day” like back-to-back meetings! 📅

Earlier in the week, the ERC-3643 Association (yes, that’s a real thing) stopped by on July 16 to talk Ethereum-based token standards. Before that, Deutsche Bank USA Corp. dropped in on July 15, probably to remind everyone that traditional finance is still a thing. 🏦

And let’s not forget July 14, when the Coalition of Cooperative Blockchain Organizations joined the party. Because what’s a task force without a coalition? 🤝 Rounding out the week was Cryptex Finance, LLC on July 11, who likely left wondering if they’d ever get a lunch break. 🥗

So, there you have it! The SEC Crypto Task Force is back in action, juggling meetings with both traditional finance and crypto firms like they’re auditioning for a circus act. 🎪 Let’s see how long it takes for them to schedule another “hiatus.” 😏
