SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce Joins Regent University Faculty

SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce has announced her decision to leave her position early and join Regent University as a professor of law. Her last day at the SEC will be November, marking a significant change for the agency.

The move is expected to impact regulatory oversight in the cryptocurrency sector, particularly given the recent trend of reduced enforcement actions by the SEC under the Trump administration.

Regent University has stated that Peirce's involvement will strengthen its programs in digital assets, securities, and federal litigation. Her industry experience is seen as a valuable asset for the academic community.
