SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, a longtime advocate for crypto, is set to leave the agency on Oct. 2, according to CoinDesk.
Hester Peirce will depart the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Oct. 2, CoinDesk reported. The commissioner's exit had been expected for some time.
Peirce has been a consistent advocate for cryptocurrency within the regulator. That stance earned her the nickname “Crypto Mom” among industry supporters.
