- The SEC has a new podcast.
- A large part of its first episode was dedicated to crypto.
- “Crypto mom” Hester Peirce discussed the “beauty of the technology” and the double-spend problem.
It’s just a small fraction of US markets. Still, crypto dominated the first episode of a new podcast hosted by Paul Atkins, the head of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
At the top of the 27-minute episode, Atkins pitched the podcast, Material Matters, as a way to demystify the work of the US’ top financial regulator.
“For many people the SEC itself remains something of a mystery. I believe that it’s time to change that,” he said.
Atkins’ guests were Mark Uyeda and Hester Peirce, commissioners who have often sided with the crypto industry.
