TechFlow, May 30 — According to CoinDesk, Hester Peirce, head of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Cryptocurrency Task Force, said at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas that cryptocurrency investors should be responsible for their own investment decisions and should not seek government assistance when suffering losses.
Peirce noted that the SEC is developing policies to clarify the regulatory scope of digital asset securities. She believes most crypto tokens are not inherently securities, meaning trading platforms do not need to register with the SEC unless they involve securities transactions. Regarding meme coins, she emphasized these assets fall outside the SEC’s enforcement jurisdiction, and investors must take responsibility for their speculative activities.
In addition, Peirce expressed a neutral stance toward public companies including digital assets on their balance sheets, but stressed that such companies must ensure proper disclosure of relevant information.
