In a virtual address to a Federalist Society panel today, SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce said it was "premature" for the SEC to begin developing a crypto regulatory agenda without a Senate-approved chairperson in charge.
Mark Uyeda is currently serving as acting chairperson, but the Senate is expected to vote soon on the nomination of former SEC commissioner Paul Atkins.
Hester Peirce said: "Acting chairperson Mark Uyeda has done a great job and the agenda has worked - we haven't stopped working, but we estimate that if Paul Atkins is confirmed as chairperson, he will take over soon and start setting the agenda." Peirce added that the SEC was "trying to figure out" a way forward to develop rules for digital assets.
