Crypto界网 news: SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce (known as the "Crypto Mom") warned in her latest statement that liquidity pools in decentralized finance (DeFi) may be considered securities. Peirce said that attempts to disguise the act of managing other people’s funds as “smart” blockchain technology will no longer work.

Peirce advised DeFi developers to cooperate with regulators and adapt to existing rules to avoid future enforcement actions.
