The Securities and Exchange Commission said Friday that it plans to host a public forum at its Washington headquarters on May 31 focusing on distributed ledger technology (DLT) and digital assets.
The forum, organized by the agency’s Strategic Hub for Innovation and Financial Technology (FinHub), is the second such forum to be hosted by the agency, and is designed “to foster greater communication and understanding around issues involving DLT and digital assets.”
Panelists from industry and academia will tackle such topics as initial coin offerings, digital asset platforms, DLT innovations, and how these technologies affect investors and the markets, the SEC said.
