U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Commissioner Hester Peirce is set to leave office on Oct. 2, closing a tenure that made her one of the agency’s most closely watched voices on digital-asset regulation. Peirce previously led the SEC’s crypto task force and has spent years arguing that enforcement should not stand in for workable rules. Her departure comes while the SEC is still working through major crypto rulemaking questions tied to custody, token classification, and market structure. On Oct. 1, SEC Chair Paul Atkins and Commissioner Mark Uyeda issued a departure statement thanking Peirce for her service and highlighting her role in shaping digital-asset policy.
