Svmuu News: U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Commissioner Hester Peirce shared her views on the future of perpetual contracts, prediction markets, and digital asset regulation, striking an overall positive and open tone. Hester Peirce reviewed the Rule 611 “trade-through” proposal, which has been in the works for about 20 years, noting that the so-called “innovation exemption” mechanism will be intentionally designed to be strict and limited in order to balance market innovation with investor protection. Hester Peirce stated that a clearer regulatory framework should be adopted for new financial products such as tokenized securities, perpetual contracts, and prediction markets, rather than simply imposing restrictions or vague regulations. She also emphasized two core principles: Self-custody and financial privacy should serve as foundational rights in the future regulatory framework and be incorporated into the design of subsequent digital asset regulatory systems.
