It is <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/crypto\/secs-hester-peirce-calls-to-transform-u-s-crypto-regulations\/\">not the first time<\/a> that she has called out for reform.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking virtually at Australian Blockchain Week on June 29, Commissioner Peirce, affectionately known as \u201cCrypto Mom\u201d, voiced her views on cryptocurrency regulation. She argued that the existing perception of crypto is typically financial in nature, overlooking its other potential applications, such as its ability to facilitate interaction without the necessity of a centralized entity.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong>350% or 5BTC + <strong>150 Spins!<\/strong><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.

She asserted her freedom of expression, arguing, \u201cthen I don\u2019t know why I\u2019m in that position\u201d if she is unable to voice her opinions openly. She continued, \u201cCrypto presents [the SEC] an opportunity to rethink how we approach innovation [\u2026] I really think we\u2019ve been taking an approach that is not appropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Drawing on the aftermath of FTX\u2019s collapse, Peirce advised the crypto industry to engage in self-regulation, taking into consideration counterparty risks, conflicts of interest, and leverage. She concluded that, \u201cThose are things you don\u2019t need a government regulator to tell you to do, but I think government regulators can play a role in that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/crypto\/us-crypto-regulation-needs-flexibility-says-sec-commissioner-hester-peirce\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Crypto News &#8211; iGaming.org ) U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissioner Hester Peirce is suggesting a balanced and cautious approach to cryptocurrency regulation in the country, stressing that the regulatory framework should not automatically categorize every crypto use as a financial asset.
