Hester Peirce and the SEC launch a national tour to engage small crypto projects and shape future regulation.
- SEC’s Hester Peirce launches national crypto tour
- Aims to gather input from small crypto startups
- Focus on fair and practical regulation development
In a major step toward improving communication between regulators and innovators, Commissioner Hester Peirce is leading the SEC’s Crypto Task Force on a national tour across the United States. The goal is clear: engage directly with small crypto projects, gather feedback, and build a more balanced approach to crypto regulation.
Often dubbed “Crypto Mom” for her pro-innovation stance, Peirce wants to shift the SEC’s image from an enforcer to a listener. By physically visiting startup hubs and blockchain communities, the task force aims to understand how regulation affects real builders—not just the big players.
A Listening Tour That Could Reshape Crypto Rules
This marks a rare and welcomed move from the SEC. Instead of issuing blanket rules or enforcement actions, the agency is starting a conversation—face to face. Many crypto founders have long criticized the lack of clarity in U.S. crypto laws. Now, they’ll have a chance to voice their concerns and help shape a framework that’s both clear and fair.
Peirce emphasized the importance of reaching beyond Washington. “Innovation doesn’t just happen in big cities or with big firms,” she said. “We want to meet people where they are and understand their realities.”
A Unique Chance for Small Projects to Be Heard
This tour may be one of the most significant regulatory moves for the U.S. crypto space in recent years. It reflects a growing awareness that small startups play a critical role in blockchain innovation—and that their voices matter in the policy-making process.
Startups and developers should stay alert for dates and venues, as this is an important opportunity to engage with the SEC directly and responsibly.
