Hester Peirce on her SEC exit: developer protection and financial privacy remain unfinished

  • —Peirce departs the SEC in October after serving under three chairs: Clayton, Gensler and Atkins
  • —Her top unfinished priority is shielding developers from liability when third parties misuse their tools
  • —She wants the US to roll back financial surveillance, arguing crypto privacy protects ordinary users, not criminals
  • —After her exit the SEC is left with just Atkins and Uyeda, as Democrats push to restore a five-member commission
Why it matters: Peirce's departure removes the SEC's most vocal advocate for developers, leaving a gap in the debate over how crypto rules are written.
