Hester Peirce da SEC: Não precisamos regulamentar a criptografia no tribunal
US Securities and Exchange Commission Commissioner Hester Peirce reiterated Tuesday that court cases are not the only path to regulatory clarity for crypto. “I will say that litigation is not the most effective way to carry out regulations,” Peirce said during an appearance on Bloomberg TV Tuesday afternoon. “Certainly enforcement actions are one tool that we have in our toolbox, but we have other tools.” Peirces comments come amid reports that Binance and CEO Changpeng Zhao will plead guilty and pay more than $4 billion in a deal with the Department of Justice. Zhao will also step down from his position, according to a Wall Street Journal report. “I can‘t talk about ongoing cases,” Peirce said. “But I will say that with all of these cases that move forward, we should really be thinking proactively about building a regulatory framework…that would work and allow companies to do business in the United States, and that’s what Im hoping we can work on in the coming months and years.” The DOJ, alongside the Commodity and Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), is slated to announce “separate but related cryptocurrency enforcement actions” Tuesday afternoon in Washington, DC. No officials from the SEC will be present, according to a statement
