We interview SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce on the regulation of cryptocurrency and digital asset exchanges. We begin by discussing the balance of powers that underlie the SEC's ability to regulate and the interplay between regulation and freedom of speech. We then discuss the differences between centralized and decentralized digital assets and the impact that it may have on regulation. Comm. Peirce then challenges the SEC's “regulation by enforcement” approach, discusses the definition of a “security,” and raises the potentially insurmountable issue of registering crypto exchanges.A bit about Comm.

She was also a Senior Counsel on the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, where she advised Ranking Member Richard Shelby and other members of the Committee on securities issues.Hester joins us today to give us some insight into the SEC and the regulatory world. She explains the many challenges that come along with trying to regulate the crypto industry, including lack of time and resources, a potential desire to push the industry abroad, and navigating the US's complicated existing financial regulations. Hester also agrees that regulatory progress is failing to keep up with crypto while reinforcing the idea that the industry requires new regulations outside of existing securities laws. We later discuss Hester's Token Safe Harbor proposal, which lays out a potential path for new crypto projects to gradually work towards decentralization without fearing SEC enforcement. We also touch on fostering innovation, the pros and cons of decentralization, and the best ways of communicating with the SEC and Hester herself.

SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce opposes her agency's recent targeting of Kraken's staking program in the US.  "If investor protection is about just shutting programs down or preventing people from purchasing certain things — that's a very unimaginative form of investor protection," Commissioner Peirce said. In this episode, Commissioner Hester Peirce discusses how the SEC's recent enforcement action towards Kraken is emblematic of the agency's broader attempt to regulate the crypto industry in the US through enforcement actions.

In this episode, we dig into cryptocurrency regulation, the societal role of corporations, and ESG requirements with SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce. Both a leading conservative advocate of cryptocurrency innovation and a vocal critic of ESG, Commissioner Peirce brings incisive perspective to complicated current topics including: Her path into financial regulation and her experience engaging in principled, civic discourse as the lone Republican of the SEC. The appropriate roles for Congress and regulatory agencies to play in controlling the risks of cryptocurrency, while incentivizing innovation. The free market forces which she believes incentivize corporations to behave in the public interest, and how finance can be a high-leverage sector for positive change. Her critique of ESG as a “scarlet letter phenomenon” and why she believes ESG currently fails to achieve its stated goals. Difficulties in ESG reporting and disclosures and how she believes investors can receive better information from companies. For future and current finance leaders alike, we hope this conversation proves both highly informative thanks to its substantive depth, and also thought-provoking as Commissioner Peirce shares her unique perspectives on some of the most important topics in finance today. *Note: at the time of this recording a few weeks ago, the SEC only had four commissioners. Since then, Commissioner Mark Uyeda and Jaime Lizarraga were sworn in. 00:00 - Intro 9:00 - Crypto Regulations 17:33 - Role of Corporations in the Public Interest 26:22 - ESG 39:53 - Rapid Fire

Today we took on the challenge of unpacking the SEC's proposed climate disclosure rules and their potential implications. To help us do so, we had a panel of experienced leaders in the space join for a lively discussion that we hope will provide clarity and understanding. Our panel today includes Travis Wofford, Chair of the Corporate Department in Houston and Vice Chair of the Global M&A Practice and Scott Janoe, Chair of the Environmental, Safety & Incident Response Section from Baker Botts, and Dan Romito, Consulting Partner with Pickering Energy Partners.The framework of our discussion included an overview of the proposed requirements and background on the buildup to the SEC's new proposals, the key SEC players involved (with some particular focus on the dissenting view from Commissioner Peirce), the likelihood of the proposed rules becoming final, what the disclosures would cost and the potential liabilities for public companies, the potential unintended consequences of these new regulations, whether the SEC should be the governing body addressing these disclosures, implications for small to large companies, the importance of materiality, and the "climate industrial complex," just to hit a few. We greatly appreciate Travis, Scott, and Dan sharing their perspectives and are hopeful these proposed SEC changes can be improved before they are ultimately implemented.For further reading, Baker Botts has published a thought leadership piece. Statements are also available from SEC Chair Gary Gensler, Commissioner Allison Herren Lee, Commissioner Hester Peirce, and Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw.Mike Bradley kicked us off with a look at equity and commodity performance for the week, noting US natural gas and Euro natural gas and commodity curves for natural gas vs. WTI crude oil. Colin Fenton helped us all make sense of the complex inflation situation with the Fed and talked about the recent inversion of the yield curve and how to interpret it.
