Hester Peirce is a commissioner at the Securities Exchange Commission, sworn in for her second term in August.

In this conversation, she and NLW discuss:
- Why the SEC’s approach on crypto has been too slow and too ambiguous
- Why it matters that FinHub is becoming a standalone office
- The prospect for a regulatory “safe harbor” for crypto
- What the SEC thinks of the OCC’s crypto custody guidance
- The prospect for a bitcoin exchange-traded fund
