SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce stressed the need for a clear regulatory framework for cryptocurrency at Bitcoin 2025, urging the SEC to establish clarity in their approach to crypto. Her proposal aims to reduce ambiguity in classifying crypto transactions as securities, potentially impacting how market transactions are categorized and boosting stability. Peirce believes that most crypto assets aren’t inherently securities, highlighting the need for guidance on when a token is classified as such. This shift towards cooperative engagement with the crypto industry aligns with her past efforts at creating nuanced regulations while aiming to increase trust in the market. Peirce’s proposal follows a trend of SEC initiatives emphasizing regulatory cooperation, particularly after their case against Coinbase was dropped. This could lead to increased institutional participation in U.S. crypto markets as a result of enhanced clarity and stability.
