The most crypto-savvy person at the SEC is leaving. Hester Peirce, known in the industry as 'Crypto Mom,' has been advocating for crypto within the SEC for nine years. On October 2nd, she resigned. Meanwhile, the CLARITY Act is still on hold. What does this mean? The SEC's stance on crypto might no longer have 'internal checks and balances.' The regulatory pendulum is swinging in one direction. But Bitcoin has no CEO, and no mom.
