SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce has clarified her stance on future involvement with non-fungible tokens (NFTs) following her tenure at the regulatory agency. While previously joking about potentially becoming an NFT creator post-SEC service, Peirce emphasized that her current focus remains squarely on refining cryptocurrency policy frameworks. The commissioner, known for her pro-innovation stance within the commission, indicated that properly structured digital asset regulations must take precedence over any personal projects. Peirce’s comments come during a period of significant regulatory scrutiny surrounding digital collectibles and tokenization projects. Her dedication to “getting crypto policy right” underscores the ongoing balancing act regulators face between fostering innovation and implementing necessary investor protections. The cryptocurrency community continues watching Peirce’s regulatory approach closely, particularly as the SEC maintains its active oversight of digital asset markets. While not dismissing future NFT industry involvement entirely, the commissioner’s statements suggest regulatory responsibilities will continue dominating her agenda throughout her remaining commission service.
