SEC Seeks Outsider Input on Crypto Regulations—Peirce Drops Hint of Possible Policy Shift
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is reaching beyond its usual echo chamber for fresh takes on crypto regulation—and Commissioner Hester Peirce just let slip that change might be brewing.
Wall Street’s favorite regulator—known for moving at the speed of dial-up—is finally admitting it needs outside help to untangle the crypto knot. Peirce’s nod to external perspectives suggests even the SEC realizes its ’regulation-by-enforcement’ approach isn’t winning fans.
Will this lead to clearer rules? Or just more paperwork? Either way, crypto’s waiting game continues—because nothing says ’financial innovation’ like a government agency playing catch-up.
