Hester Peirce : Les États-Unis peuvent apprendre de la réglementation européenne

  • Hester Peirce believes the US could learn from the UK and Europe’s push for crypto-friendly policies.
  • Peirce a déjà exprimé son soutien aux crypto-monnaies.

Hester Peirce, a commissioner at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), believes that Europe’s ground-breaking crypto regulation might serve as a model for the U.S. Peirce praised the quick pace with which the European Union organized its digital finance policy. The European Parliament approved Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) last month, establishing a thorough framework for cryptocurrency regulation across the 27-nation EU.

Tout en parlant à la Financial Times’s Sommet sur la crypto et les actifs numériques in London on Wednesday, Peirce remarked that “MiCA can serve as a model for us,” adding that the United States could draw inspiration from the UK’s approach to becoming a cryptocurrency hub.

Peirce also voiced her support for a regulatory model “that allows for innovation.” She praised the UK’s approach, saying, “I think that’s something that we can learn from and draw from, but whether or not that will take a little longer for us, I don’t know.”

The US lawmaker noted that the US had the “advantage” of seeing how MiCA plays out. However, US regulators seem divided on a clear-cut policy for the crypto industry, and the approaches of the SEC and other agencies have received widespread criticism.

Les politiciens de l'UE ont exprimé leur intérêt à partager leurs expériences avec la réglementation cryptographique avec les législateurs américains. Cela survient au milieu des tensions croissantes entre les sociétés de cryptographie et les régulateurs américains.

Peirce believes Europe’s structured policies could lure more crypto companies into the region. She said, “If we built a good regulatory regime, people would come. I think you’ll see that with MiCA.” Peirce further claimed that U.S. authorities are “shooting ourselves in the foot” by failing to collaborate with those within the regulatory field and not recognizing DeFi’s role in creating a stable financial system.

It remains to be seen if US lawmakers will collaborate to create clearer policies for digital assets. However, crypto experts believe country’s slow approach keeps it behind the EU, UAE and the UK.
