SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce officially resigned, loyal to the title of "Crypto Mom"
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Commissioner Hester Peirce has submitted his formal resignation, effective October 2. Pierce, known as the "crypto mom" for advocating clear, rules-based regulation of the cryptocurrency industry, posted a copy of her resignation letter on Platform X on Friday.
In her letter, she thanked the president for awarding her "the most glorious moment of her career" and noted that she left the SEC under the distinguished leadership of Chairman Paul Atkins and Commissioner Mark Uyeda. Both current members are Republicans.
Pierce served on the committee for approximately eight years. From February 4, 2025, she will also serve as the director of the agency's encryption working group. According to SEC rules, her term officially ends in June 2025, but the rules state: "If not replaced before expiration, members may continue to serve for approximately 18 months."
Joined the University of Virginia Law School
It has been previously reported that Pierce plans to join the Law School at Regent University in Virginia as an associate professor in November. The school said Pierce expects to help the law school strengthen its academic focus in areas such as federal litigation, securities regulation and digital assets.
Seats may be temporarily vacant, regulatory direction changes
皮尔斯的席位可能不会立即填补。此前,民主党籍前委员卡罗琳·克伦肖(Caroline Crenshaw)于1月离职,其任期结束后18个月仍未有提名填补该席位,时任总统唐纳德·特朗普也未进行提名。
自2025年1月特朗普就职以来,SEC在加密货币监管和执法方面采取了 radically 不同的方法。该机构撤销了对多家加密货币公司的多项执法行动和调查,其中包括与特朗普及其家族有关联的案件。
加密工作组推动去中心化金融责任讨论
自成立以来,加密工作组一直在研究现有证券法如何适用于数字资产和去中心化系统。今年6月,皮尔斯曾表示,发布开源代码不应使软件开发者受到联邦证券法规的约束,这反映了长期以来关于去中心化金融中开发者责任的辩论。
皮尔斯的观点与SEC整体从阿特金斯所描述的“通过执法进行监管”模式转向的趋势相一致。
