US SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce: A partial crypto regulatory framework may be established this year, and the investigation of securities violations will continue. 2025-03-05

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Hester Peirce, a commissioner of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), stated in an interview with Fortune magazine that although she does not support previous enforcement actions, this does not indicate that the SEC will terminate enforcement when appropriate. Appointees in the crypto industry should not consider themselves to have a 'free pass,' otherwise it will label fraud as 'cryptocurrency.' She also stated that the SEC will continue to investigate securities violations in general.

Hester Peirce also mentioned that the SEC will advance the establishment of its own regulatory framework but refused to provide a timeline. However, she stated that the planned 'partial' will be completed this year, such as the design of a classification system for crypto securities. (Fortune)
