SINGAPORE (Reuters) -A top U.S. securities regulator known for her supportive stance on the cryptocurrency industry said on Tuesday that the Securities and Exchange Commission is open to working with industry participants on tokenising products.
"We are willing to work with people who want to tokenise, we urge them to come talk to us," said Hester Peirce, a Republican commissioner on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), who was speaking virtually at the Digital Assets Summit in Singapore.
