Hester Peirce, a commissioner at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) known for her strong support of cryptocurrency innovation, playfully shared her intentions to launch a non-fungible token (NFT) series after her SEC tenure. During a Coin Center gathering on September 25, 2025, Peirce—often called “Crypto Mom” for her frequent disagreements with regulatory crackdowns—joked about swapping beekeeping for NFT design, admitting her lack of skill in beekeeping Bees, Ts, and NFTs: Remarks at the Coin Center Dinner - SEC.gov [ 1 ].

Peirce’s comments highlighted her ongoing push for clearer rules around digital assets.

She also took aim at the SEC’s enforcement-heavy tactics under former Chair Gary Gensler, stressing the importance of a regulatory approach that encourages innovation while safeguarding investors Bees, Ts, and NFTs: Remarks at the Coin Center Dinner - SEC.gov [ 1 ].

She also poked fun at excessive regulation with characters like BanMan, who calls for crypto bans, and Lost-in-Law, a lawyer who provides expensive but unhelpful guidance to crypto entrepreneurs Bees, Ts, and NFTs: Remarks at the Coin Center Dinner - SEC.gov [ 1 ]. Through these caricatures, Peirce humorously critiques the regulatory and cultural landscape of the crypto industry.
Although Peirce made it clear her NFT idea was meant as a joke, her remarks pointed to a changing attitude at the SEC regarding digital assets. Since January 2025, the agency has shifted away from strict enforcement, with Peirce heading a Crypto Task Force focused on developing more transparent regulations. Recent developments include dropping lawsuits against crypto companies and releasing statements about

Her speech, while lighthearted, reaffirmed her dedication to building a crypto environment that values both creativity and responsibility.
