SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce has made several suggestions for achieving more lasting cryptocurrency regulatory changes amid potentially differing views among government regulators.

At the Washington Blockchain Summit on March 26, Peirce, who heads the SEC's cryptocurrency working group, stated that she expects the commission to create more "durability" for digital asset regulation through agency rulemaking and congressional legislation. These rulemakings and laws will contrast with the guidance issued by the agency, such as a recent statement indicating that meme coins do not meet the criteria for securities.

"I hope people won't always be thinking about the Howey test issue," Peirce said, referring to a method for determining whether an asset is a security. "Your lawyer has to think about these things, I'm not saying they're irrelevant, but that shouldn't be the driving factor in your decision about what to build. I hope there is enough clarity on what falls within our jurisdiction, and then, if it does, how you can move forward."

Peirce made these remarks as the SEC has already withdrawn investigations or enforcement actions against several major cryptocurrency companies, including Coinbase, Ripple, Kraken, and Immutable. Some believe that the policy shift under Acting Chair Mark Uyeda is an attempt by former President Donald Trump to have the agency drop cases against companies supporting his 2024 campaign.

Since the start of the 119th Congress in January, lawmakers have indicated their intention to advance a market structure bill that clarifies the roles of the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) regarding digital assets. Trump signed an executive order on his third day in office to establish a working group to explore issues such as a regulatory framework for stablecoins.

Paul Atkins, nominated by Trump to the SEC in December, is set to appear before the U.S. Senate Banking Committee on March 27 and may answer questions regarding his views on cryptocurrency regulation. Many in the cryptocurrency industry have expressed support for the former commissioner, who holds assets in the tokenization platform Securitize and controls a consulting firm associated with FTX.

If his nomination passes the Banking Committee, it remains unclear whether the full Senate will vote to confirm Atkins for a term ending in 2031. He is expected to take over the SEC chair position from Commissioner Uyeda.
