Crypto Mom
Peirce's benign perspective in direction of digital property has attained her the byname Crypto Mom, in direction of which she expressed some fondness originally of her look at now's summit:
"It's been an honor to be adopted by a group of people who are really thinking in such exciting and fascinating ways and trying to flirt with ways to change the world."
Regarding cryptocurrencies, she foreseen now that:
"As technology changes, we'll see them becoming much more the money of the internet."
In different feedback, the commissioner expressed a point of frustration with the tempo of the SEC's regulation, locution "Frankly, sometimes the SEC inevitably a push from Congress." She continued:
"If you want a government that's more forward-thinking on innovation, that means that if something goes wrong, you can't go running back to the government and say 'Hey, you didn't protect me from myself!' [...]I think we need to be a bit less paternalistic."
Hearing earlier this week
