Hester Peirce of the Securities and Exchange Commission, often known as "Crypto Mom," is one of the most outspoken supporters of cryptocurrency at the government level in the United States. Prior to joining the Securities and Exchange Commission, she worked in a variety of roles evaluating and formulating financial regulations, having graduated from Yale Law School. She worked at George Mason University's Mercatus Center, a libertarian think tank, most recently before becoming commissioner, where she produced, among other things, critiques of legislation like the Dodd-Frank Act.

As chairman Jay Clayton steps out and a Joe Biden nominee takes his place, Republican Peirce will find herself in the minority. Clayton, on the other hand, was not particularly forward-thinking when it came to digital assets. President Biden has declared his intention to select Gary Gensler, a crypto expert who would presumably be more prepared to deal with Peirce than Clayton was.
The SEC's approval of initial public offerings for crypto businesses like Coinbase, the first U.S.-authorized Bitcoin ETF, and, of course, the ICO safe harbour are all obvious targets for Peirce. We won't know what Peirce thinks about the SEC's pursuit of Ripple until after the fact, per SEC protocol, but the outcome of that case will almost certainly serve as a springboard for more clarity.
Peirce told guests at the Crypto Finance Conference in January that the future SEC chairman's priority should be supporting innovation and giving regulatory clarity: "We need to embrace innovation and figure out how to create a regulatory framework that encourages it, which, in our field, I believe means providing clarity."
