Hester Peirce is the Commissioner of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). There are 5 commissioners in the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Hester Peirce is currently in its second term. She recently stated that the US government needs to provide more clarity and guidance for cryptocurrency regulations. It also requires communication and coordination between different regulatory agencies.
Hester Peirce explained: "Enforcement actions can indeed provide clarity to the market, but from my point of view, this is not the right approach. We want to provide clear guidelines for people in advance, and then they can figure out what they should do. How to do it legally."
At the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Hester Peirce is affectionately known by the cryptocurrency community as the "Crypto Old Godmother" because of his positive regulatory stance on digital assets. Previously, Hester Peirce had publicly objected to the US Securities and Exchange Commission's rejection of the application for a bitcoin exchange-traded fund by the brothers Cameron Winklevoss and Tyler Winklevoss, founders of the Gemini Exchange. Offering a three-year "safe harbor period" for token sale projects gives cryptocurrency entrepreneurs enough time to create their own networks without worrying about violating the Securities Act.
Prior to joining the SEC, Hester Peirce conducted research on financial market regulation at George Mason University's Mercatus Center. So, what are her insights on the cryptocurrency market in 2020? And what predictions will be made for 2021?
Let's read on.
