Hester Peirce, AKA “Crypto Mom,” was just confirmed to a second term as SEC Commissioner of the Securities Exchange Commission in August. In this episode, she talks about:
- the reasons for her dissent in the Unikrn Settlement and what she believes would have been a proper penalty
- the current status of her token safe harbor proposal
- her thoughts on fair launch projects as opposed to traditional VC-backed tokens
- her view on how the SEC should view airdrops
- her thoughts on whether existing securities laws could be tweaked as opposed to implementing a safe harbor
- whether she thinks DeFi governance tokens should be considered securities
- her thoughts on DeFi playing its own regulatory role
- her thoughts on the Securities Clarity Act introduced in Congress
- the chances of a Bitcoin ETF being approved by the SEC in the future
- the charges against BitMEX and the effect it may have on the industry in general
- stablecoins, and how they might raise securities issues
- and whether she thinks that all securities could one day be tokenized
