Hester Peirce: Gli Stati Uniti possono imparare dalla regolamentazione europea

  • Hester Peirce believes the US could learn from the UK and Europe’s push for crypto-friendly policies.
  • Peirce ha già espresso il suo sostegno alle criptovalute.

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.

Mentre si parla al Financial Times’s Vertice sulle criptovalute e sulle risorse digitali 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.

I politici dell'UE hanno espresso interesse a condividere le loro esperienze con la regolamentazione delle criptovalute con i legislatori statunitensi. Ciò avviene tra le crescenti tensioni tra le società crittografiche e le autorità di regolamentazione statunitensi. Scambio di criptovalute con sede negli Stati Uniti Coinbase di recente ha presentato ricorso contro la SEC, chiedendo chiarezza al regolatore.

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.
