‘Crypto Mom’ Hester Peirce to leave SEC after eight years
- —Peirce will leave the SEC on October 2 after about eight years
- —She has chaired the Crypto Task Force since February 2025
- —Only two sitting commissioners, Atkins and Uyeda, will remain
- —From November she becomes an associate professor at Regent University law school
Why it matters: The exit of the SEC’s most vocal advocate for clear crypto rules weakens the reform wing as the agency shifts its approach to digital assets.
