Pierce, who was appointed by Acting Chair Mark Uyeda to spearhead the Crypto Task Force, laid out 10 of the group’s priorities, including resolving the question of what makes a cryptocurrency a security vs. a commodity, and creating a more “viable” path to registration by modifying the SEC’s existing paths. Other priorities include “provid[ing] clarity about whether crypto-lending and staking programs are covered by the securities laws” and deciding which parts of the market fall outside the SEC’s jurisdiction.
