SEC Forms Crypto Task Force Led by Commissioner Hester Peirce

The team includes a mix of SEC veterans and crypto industry experts to address regulatory challenges in the digital asset space.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announced the formation of a Crypto Task Force, led by Commissioner Hester Peirce, known for her pro-crypto stance.
The task force includes experienced SEC officials and advisors with backgrounds in blockchain, crypto policy, and securities law.
Key appointees include Richard Gabbert as chief of staff, Michael Selig as chief counsel, and Taylor Asher as chief policy advisor.
The task force aims to create practical solutions for crypto regulation, moving away from the previous enforcement-driven approach under former Chair Gary Gensler.
The initiative reflects growing pressure for regulatory clarity in the crypto industry and is expected to shape policy and enforcement priorities in the coming months.
