SEC Crypto Roundtable Canceled, Raising Questions About Regulatory Engagement Pace

A planned SEC meeting focused on crypto policy was canceled without a rescheduled date, adding to a pattern of delayed or absent regulatory engagement on digital asset issues despite the industry's expectation of a more active SEC posture under the current administration.
