SEC commissioner Hester Peirce believes crypto is a battleground for the conversation surrounding government power and personal liberty. In a speech today to the Federalist Society, Peirce — a dissenting voice against the SEC's past rejections of proposed bitcoin exchange-traded funds — said crypto poses new challenges to regulators, but that agencies "should figure out a way to embrace the personal liberty principles undergirding it."
