SEC's Hester Peirce says new stablecoin regs need to allow room for failure

05/13 05:49

According to Cointelegraph, Hester Peirce, the Securities and Exchange Commission Commissioner has backed a regulatory framework for stablecoins that allows "room for there to be failure." Speaking at an online panel on May 12 hosted by financial think-tank OMFIF Peirce, who has long been an advocate for crypto, was asked to shed light on the actions being taken by U.S. regulatory bodies in regard to cryptocurrency. “One place we might see some movement is around stablecoins,” Peirce answered, “that's an area that has gotten a lot of attention this week. There's a lot of stablecoin use and therefore people are thinking down the road, if this gets even bigger do we want to have some kind of regulatory framework?" Peirce said she’s urged the SEC to use its regulatory powers to provide exemptions to particular technologies which she says would allow for important experimentation. She said: “We need to allow room for there to be failure because that obviously is part of trying new things and our framework really does allow for that kind of trial and error. I hope that we will use it for that purpose.”
