SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce resigns: The "guardian" of the crypto industry has lifted the burden

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Commissioner Hester Peirce, the institution's most prominent supporter of the cryptocurrency industry, officially resigned on October 2. She posted the news on Platform X (formerly Twitter).

Farewell and Outlook in the Open Letter

Pierce announced his resignation decision in a post titled "Countdown to 7 Days" posted on September 25 and attached a photo of a resignation letter. In the letter, she said serving at the agency was "the highest honor of her career" and said she firmly believed that under the leadership of Chairman Paul Atkins and Commissioner Mark Uyeda, the "talented men and women" of the SEC would continue to maintain the balance she described.

Pierce was appointed by President Donald Trump and took office on January 11, 2018. He has served for nearly nine years. Despite the chairmanship of Jay Clayton and Gary Gensler, both of whom have taken aggressive enforcement actions against the industry, Pierce remains committed to promoting the development of crypto regulatory rules. Her statutory term ended on June 5, 2025, and subsequently continued to serve as a retention status for up to 18 months in accordance with SEC regulations. The industry has dubbed her "Crypto Mom", but she herself prefers to call herself a "freedom maximalist" rather than a purely industry advocate.

今年11月,她将加入雷金特大学法学院,担任副教授,讲授证券法规和数字资产相关课程。该校早在5月便公布了这一录用通知。

关于隐私保护的离别陈词

在发布辞职信的前两天,皮尔斯在纽约举行的证券业和金融 markets 协会(SIFMA)数字资产大会上发表演讲,主张监管机构可以在收集更少个人数据的情况下抓获犯罪分子。她指出,存储的信息“ haystack ”(海量数据)越大,寻找关键的“ needle ”(线索)就越困难,而且每增加一个数据存储点,都会提高泄露或被滥用的风险。

她提到了零知识证明(zero-knowledge proofs)和基于属性的凭证(attribute-based credentials)等工具,这些工具可以在不暴露底层数据的情况下确认事实,例如某人的年龄或是否处于制裁名单上。她还敦促企业依赖其他受监管机构已完成的身份核查,而不是重复进行此类检查。该演讲内容已发布于SEC官方网站。

SEC面临席位空缺挑战

皮尔斯的离任使得SEC目前仅剩两名在职委员——阿特金斯和尤耶达,这是机构采取行动所需的最低人数,另有三个席位空缺。皮尔斯自2025年起领导SEC的加密工作组,并大力提倡诸如为代币项目设立安全港期限等提案。目前尚未指定继任者,白宫也未提名填补空缺席位的候选人。
