De acordo com um tweet de 10 de dezembro da repórter Eleanor Terrett da Fox Business, a comissária da Comissão de Valores Mobiliários dos EUA (SEC), Hester Pierce, compartilhou sugestões sobre como a nova comissão sob dent do novo presidente Donald Trump poderia melhorar as regulamentações de criptografia.
Terrett citou uma entrevista recente de Pierce com Liz Claman, do The Claman Countdown, onde o comissário descreveu três coisas que a comissão precisava fazer para melhorar o espaço criptográfico. Pierce mencionou a necessidade de uma evolução nas regulamentações de criptografia sob a orientação de Trump para fornecer mais clareza à comunidade criptográfica.
A comissária, também conhecida como Crypto Mom, também insinuou a existência da Operação Chokehold 2.0, que a comissão negou anteriormente. De acordo com Pierce, os EUA deveriam impedir os aspectos de gargalo do governo nas regulamentações de criptografia. O comissário insistiu que o governo não deveria negar aos detentores de criptomoedas o acesso aos serviços, incluindo a custódia. A crypto mom destacou a importância dos serviços para ajudar a indústria a avançar.
Pierce descreveu ainda por que a indústria era obrigada a entender quais aspectos da criptografia estavam sob a governança da SEC dos EUA. Na sua opinião, a clareza permitiria que os ativos que não fossem valores mobiliários lidassem com o quadro regulamentar correto. Os detentores de criptografia também saberiam quando precisariam seguir os regulamentos da SEC dos EUA.

The crypto mom has pointed out the issues of the U.S. SEC oversight on crypto, always insisting that her opinions were hers and did not reflect the commission’s opinion. Hester Pierce has further expressed her belief in crypto as an industry, applauding the investments into digital assets despite the continued regulatory uncertainty.
In the interview, Hester Pierce highlighted that the adjustment in crypto regulations would require the contribution of all entities involved in crypto, including the public. On November 13, Pierce clarified what public involvement would mean. In her opinion, the commission required an environment that healthily fuels widespread discussion on better regulations.
A November 1 filing by the commissioner revealed her worry that the U.S. SEC might have needed more time to handle more public regulatory discussions under Gary Gensler’s leadership. Gensler has since announced his resignation, which is meant to take effect in January. President-elect Trump has also announced Paul Atkins as the next commission chair.
Trump recently introduced another post in his administration, the crypto czar, to overlook regulations and artificial intelligence. While most expected the former U.S. CFTC chair Christopher Giancarlo to get the position, the incoming president announced David Sacks as the first crypto czar.
Many crypto enthusiasts commented on Terrett’s post, questioning the necessity of the U.S. SEC as a crypto regulatory body. One commenter suggested that Trump’s administration eliminate the commission, while another suggested defunding it.
There were also concerns about whether Commissioner Hester Pierce would help crypto. While some expressed faith in her, others hinted that she would not help the crypto industry and regulatory issues. One commenter said that Pierce was ‘all talk and no substance,’ insisting that she could have been more outspoken in 2020 during the Ripple case filing.
Former CFTC chair Giancarlo suggested that the commission should not handle crypto regulations. In his opinion, the CFTC should have taken the reins. In a recent development, Congress introduced a bipartisan bill allowing the commission and the CFTC to work as a joint force.
