SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce Calls for Clearer Crypto Regulatory Frameworks

  • SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce called for clearer crypto regulatory frameworks at the SEC Speaks event in April 2025 in Washington, D.C.
  • Her call followed years of regulatory uncertainty and efforts by the SEC Crypto Task Force to balance innovation with investor protection.
  • Peirce emphasized that most crypto assets, including NFTs with creator royalties, do not qualify as securities if they lack economic rights in a business.
  • She proposed a temporary safe harbor and exemptions for airdrops and certain tokens to reduce legal uncertainty and support project maturation.
  • The initiatives aim to provide clearer criteria for when crypto assets cease being investment contracts, promoting market clarity while maintaining investor safeguards.
