SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce departs the agency
Original: 👋 Hester Peirce abandona la # SEC tras liderar la resistencia interna contra el enfoque punitivo. Su marcha no detiene l
Hester Peirce, the SEC commissioner long known as a defender of the cryptocurrency industry, is leaving the agency after years of internal resistance to what she called its punitive regulatory approach to crypto. Her departure does not stop the SEC's regulatory work, but commentators say it marks the end of an era for Bitcoin and the broader digital asset sector, which saw her as one of its few allies inside the regulator.
Why now: Peirce was the most prominent pro-crypto voice inside the SEC, and her exit raises questions about the regulator's future stance toward digital assets.
