According to financial media reports, Hester Peirce, a commissioner in the US securities regulatory body, insisted on a less cautious approach to innovation in the ETF market in the regulatory market.

According to the publication, Peirce from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), called on the other commissioners to allow innovation in the ETF space by reducing their caution. Apparently, she commented on the body's approach to this category of highly regulated financial instruments, stating that the SEC "is still suppressing ETF funds with individual attention as if they were infants".

According to Peirce, the ETF will encourage institutional investors to participate in the cryptocurrency market.
