SEC’s ‘Crypto Mom’ to Join Law School, Signaling End of Time at Regulator
Summary
Hester Peirce, a prominent SEC commissioner widely referred to as “Crypto Mom,” is set to join Regent University School of Law as an associate professor in November. Although her term technically expired in June 2025, she has continued to serve under SEC transition rules. Peirce, who has led the agency’s crypto task force since 2018, will focus her academic work on digital assets and securities regulation. Her impending departure leaves the SEC with only two active commissioners as the agency undergoes a significant shift in its regulatory approach toward the cryptocurrency industry under the current administration.
