Hester Peirce, a commissioner of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), emphasized the need to establish a sustainable regulatory framework for virtual assets (cryptocurrencies).

On the 26th (local time), Peirce stated at the DC Blockchain Summit that "official SEC rulemaking and legislation by the U.S. Congress can provide 'durability' to digital asset regulation."

She also pointed out regarding the criteria for determining the security nature of assets, "People should not cling to the Howey test. Legal advice is necessary, but it should not be the core criterion for deciding what you create." She continued, "There needs to be clear criteria for what falls under SEC jurisdiction, and if it does, it should be clear how to conduct business legally."
