The SEC and CFTC have released new regulatory guidelines, stating that most crypto assets do not qualify as securities
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) jointly released a new regulatory guidance of 68 pages on Tuesday, clearly stating that most digital assets do not fall under the category of securities, aiming to provide a clearer regulatory framework for the market.
SEC Chairman Paul Atkins stated at the Washington DC Blockchain Summit, "We are no longer the 'securities and everything commission'." He pointed out that this explanatory guidance will help market participants better understand how federal securities laws apply to crypto assets. The new guidance proposes a classification system for crypto assets, including categories such as stablecoins, digital commodities, and "digital tools," and indicates that these assets are generally not considered securities. At the same time, the document also explains under what circumstances non-security crypto assets may be deemed securities and clarifies the applicability of activities such as mining, protocol staking, and airdrops under securities law. This regulatory stance stands in stark contrast to the previous attitude of U.S. regulators. During the Biden administration, former SEC Chairman Gary Gensler repeatedly stated that most crypto assets are securities and took enforcement actions against several crypto companies.
