SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce hints at not seeking re-election, plans to move quickly
On March 19, Commissioner Hester Peirce, who has held the Republican seat of the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) since being appointed by President Trump in 2018, said in an interview that she hopes to complete her work as soon as possible before the end of her term, suggesting that she will not seek re-election. Peirce is also currently the head of the SEC's cryptocurrency task force, which is dedicated to providing regulatory clarity for digital assets. She said that although her term will expire in June, she hopes to resolve the issue as soon as possible and avoid the establishment of a dedicated crypto task force. Peirce also stressed that she attaches great importance to protecting peer-to-peer interactions between developers and users, and supports providing clearer regulations for the crypto market, especially in terms of staking (staking).
