Excerpt from TechCrunch
It’s been almost three years since Hester Peirce, a commissioner of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), released her updated Token Safe Harbor Proposal 2.0.
While the proposal hasn’t made headway in its prior forms, the commissioner is not giving up. “I think we would definitely need a 3.0 version if the government wants to keep crypto innovation alive in the U.S.,” she said during an exclusive fireside chat with TechCrunch at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business.
“There’s room for something to address the legitimate concerns that crypto-skeptics have, while addressing the legitimate concerns of innovators,” Peirce added.
