The Commissioner of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Hester Peirce, defended her approach to cryptocurrency regulation in an interview with Bloomberg. Peirce emphasized her support for an innovation-friendly approach rather than strict oversight, describing herself as a "freedom maximalist." She criticized the SEC's current approach, stating that it has hindered engagement with the crypto industry. Peirce called for a policy that allows for experimentation and innovation within the existing regulatory framework. She also highlighted the potential of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology to facilitate global coordination and trust. Peirce clarified that her stance does not imply a lack of regulation, but rather the importance of working within established frameworks.
