SEC launches crypto task force led by Hester Peirce
The US financial watchdog announced on Jan. 21 a task force aimed at developing a regulatory framework for digital assets.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission has taken its first step toward crypto regulatory clarity following former Chair Gary Gensler’s departure on Jan. 20.
According to a Jan. 21 announcement, the agency is creating a crypto task force dedicated to developing a framework for digital assets. The task force will be led by Commissioner Hester Peirce, dubbed “Crypto Mom” for her pro-crypto stance when it comes to regulation.
The task force was announced by Commissioner Mark Uyeda, who is serving as acting SEC chairman until the US Senate confirms the nomination of former SEC Commissioner Paul Atkins to serve the remainder of former Chair Gensler’s term.
