Hester Peirce, a commissioner of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), said at an industry conference that many of the enforcement cases initiated by the SEC seem to have no rhyme or reason. In 2023, the SEC will increase its enforcement actions related to securities issuance by 48%, one of which is the case against NFT issuer Stoner Cats 2 LLC, and Peirce said, "I don't think its primary goal is to prevent people from buying Stoner Cats." When asked about her views on the "outcome" of the SEC's work in the crypto space, Peirce did not give a clear answer, saying, "We need to stick to the authority given to us by Congress, rather than go beyond that scope."
