SEC Commissioner Peirce urges less regulatory intervention in tokenization

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Commissioner Hester Peirce, a figure known for her pro-crypto stance and often called "Crypto Mom," has argued that regulators should refrain from intervening in the market for tokenized assets and simplify disclosure procedures. According to Cointelegraph, Peirce stated in a recent speech that existing complex regulations need to be re-examined, as tokenized securities support more efficient settlement via blockchain. The SEC has recently mentioned plans to pursue an innovation exemption for tokenized securities, which would waive certain rules under specific conditions.
