#SECCryptoRoundtable Peirce declared to the press during the event that a forthcoming possibility for another cryptocurrency policy statement from the agency (following recent statements on memecoins and mining) could be non-fungible tokens. She added that NFTs would likely benefit from greater clarity in the agency's stance.

"I believe we will see that we could also do this with NFTs," she declared to the press on Friday during the agency's cryptocurrency roundtable. "We could have done this a long time ago."

When CoinDesk asked her if the non-binding and unofficial statements from staff are the way to address the agency's political signals, she said this is a response to recent years in which the agency was reluctant to speak on any topic.

"Certainly, rulemaking based on notice and comment has a role to play. But I think not when it simply says, 'This is how we analyze the law,'" she said. "It's not necessary."
