Hester Peirce left the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 2, ending an eight-year tenure marked by her consistent advocacy for digital assets. Nicknamed « Crypto Mom » within the institution, she argued for clear rules rather than regulation by enforcement. In 2025, she was appointed to lead the SEC’s Crypto Task Force, which notably proposed rules on crypto asset custody. Her departure leaves the commission with only two commissioners out of five authorized seats, limiting its ability to advance contested rulemakings. She is now joining Regent University School of Law as an associate professor, where she will continue exploring the regulatory questions that defined her tenure.
