“Memecoins don’t fit in SEC right now”: Crypto Task Force Head Hester Peirce
In a recent interview with Bloomberg Crypto, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Crypto Task Force head Hester Peirce shared her thoughts on the growing fervor of memecoins, emphasizing that many of them may not fall under the SEC’s jurisdiction based on the current regulatory framework.
When asked about the potential challenges posed after US President Donald Trump and First lady Melania Trump launched their own memecoins, Peirce acknowledged that the rapid expansion of such tokens makes it difficult to categorize them under existing laws.
Peirce went on to highlight that, under current SEC regulations, many memecoins likely do not have a home within the agency’s jurisdiction. She emphasized that while some might look to the SEC for guidance, it’s important to note that such tokens might be better suited for other regulatory bodies, such as the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
The increasing demand for memecoins requires better regulatory standards according to the statements made by Peirce. Regulators must recognize memecoins as distinct entities according to Peirce to fully grasp how these assets fit or do not fit into present regulatory structures.
