]]> Brandon Ferrick, general counsel at Douro Labs, believes the U.S. crypto sector is not facing regulatory capture, thanks to the SEC’s open and public approach to crypto rulemaking.

SEC Encourages Participation

In an interview with Cointelegraph, Ferrick outlined the typical signs of regulatory capture:

  • Public-private revolving door employment,
  • Repetition of the same event participants,
  • Preferential treatment for certain crypto projects.

However, he added:

“Right now, the SEC offers real transparency—public portals, meeting requests, and open discussions. That’s a positive signal.”

Roundtables Foster Transparency

Ferrick cited the March 2025 SEC crypto roundtable as a turning point. It included SEC officials, crypto executives, and critics like John Reed Stark.

The April 11 session focused on trading rules, with panelists from Uniswap and Coinbase. The next roundtable, on April 25, will address crypto custody regulations.

Room for Dialogue, Not Political Capture

While former regulators warn against relaxing rules, Ferrick insists open communication is key to avoiding politicization of the crypto space.
