The SEC will hold its long-delayed roundtable on financial surveillance and privacy on December 15—marking one of its most direct engagements with builders of privacy-preserving crypto technology. Zcash founder Zooko Wilcox, Aleo’s Alex Pruden, Predicate’s Nikhil Raghuveera, and SpruceID’s Wayne Chang are set to present.
Hester Peirce says the goal is to rethink oversight without compromising civil liberties: “New technologies give us a fresh opportunity to recalibrate financial surveillance measures.” The event signals growing recognition that privacy infrastructure is becoming central to crypto market structure.

A privacy-focused roundtable is long overdue—regulators need clarity too.
