SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce's recent comments suggest the agency may be shifting towards developing a formal regulatory framework for DeFi, rather than relying solely on enforcement. An industry legal expert highlighted Peirce's specific mention of crypto vaults and on-chain asset management as a signal that the SEC is willing to engage in dialogue to create clearer guidelines.

◆ The Wire takeaway

An SEC commissioner just opened the door to dedicated DeFi rules, not just lawsuits. This de-risks the space for Wall Street, creating a clear line of sight to the institutional capital your platform needs.
