Commissioner Hester Peirce of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed worry that the United States is falling behind other countries in adopting bitcoin exchange-traded funds \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>(ETFs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During an online appearance at the Bitcoin (BTC) conference “The B Word,” Peirce noted that many other nations, including Canada, have already begun trading crypto ETFs, whereas the United States is still contemplating whether to authorize such a trading instrument. She explained:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI would never have imagined that I would be in this situation where we would not yet have approved one and other countries are moving ahead.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The SEC commissioner also expressed concern that US officials may be overstepping their authority by requiring the local crypto industry<\/a> to follow a different set of standards than the rest of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe're not a merit regulator, so we shouldn't be deciding whether something is good or bad,\u201d she explained. \u201cAn investor is thinking about their entire portfolio, and sometimes we think in one-off terms of a particular product standing alone, and we forget that people are building portfolios,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peirce's current comments follow her prior criticism of US crypto legislation, with the SEC commissioner urging authorities to avoid overregulating the crypto market once again last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite advocating for a more lenient regulatory approach to cryptocurrency, the commissioner believes that clear crypto laws are necessary for the industry to develop without fear of breaching the law. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peirce has been a long-time crypto enthusiast and is known in the crypto world as “Crypto Mom.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As previously reported, US regulators have lately delayed many crypto ETF registrations after regularly deferring such decisions for several years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, some nations have approved or begun trading in Bitcoin ETFs, with 3iQ and CoinShares<\/a>‘ Bitcoin ETF going live on the Toronto Stock Exchange in April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Purpose Investments and Evolve Funds Group, both Canadian fund managers, had previously introduced Bitcoin ETF trading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
