Caroline Crenshaw, a commissioner at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) who has taken a conservative stance on virtual assets (cryptocurrencies), is stepping down from her position.
On the 2nd (Korea Standard Time), the SEC announced on its official website that "Commissioner Crenshaw has served at the SEC for over 10 years, dedicating herself to investor protection and the strengthening of market integrity," announcing her resignation.
The SEC added, "During her tenure, Commissioner Crenshaw engaged in careful listening and substantive discussion on key commission matters and consistently advocated for the agency's mission," adding, "in particular, she approached policy decisions by prioritizing investor protection above all."
Commissioner Crenshaw has emphasized the need for stringent regulation of the virtual asset market during her tenure. In particular, she cast dissenting votes on major issues such as the approval of spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and she has been known within the virtual asset community as a commissioner with an 'anti-virtual-asset' stance.
