Peirce Departs SEC After Eight-Year Stint as Crypto Advocate

Hester Peirce, a long-time Washington advocate for crypto and commissioner at the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), is leaving her post after an eight-year stint. She was a key architect of the Trump administration's approach to digital asset regulation.

Pierce's departure marks the end of her tenure as a vocal supporter of embracing digital assets within the SEC, often being a lone voice on the matter.
