[US SEC Commissioner: Blockchain Transparent Ledger Combined with Zero-Knowledge Proof Can Reshape Financial Regulation] Hester Peirce, a commissioner of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), spoke at the SIFMA Digital Asset Conference, stating that regulators should reconsider traditional financial monitoring methods and shift from 'collecting more data' to leveraging new technologies for more precise verification. Peirce noted that technologies like zero-knowledge proofs can verify whether users meet requirements such as age, citizenship, accredited investor status, or sanctions list inclusion without disclosing underlying personal information like names, income, or addresses. Hester Peirce suggested that the federal government and regulated entities adopt attribute-based verification where technically feasible and allow registered entities to rely more on third-party identity verification to reduce the redundant collection and storage of sensitive information.
