The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued a long-awaited interpretation clarifying which types of cryptocurrencies are considered securities and how a ‘non-security’ digital asset could meet certain conditions to become an investment contract. This move is expected to provide greater clarity and regulatory certainty for the crypto industry.<\/p>\n
The SEC’s interpretation provides a coherent token taxonomy for digital commodities, digital collectibles, digital tools, stablecoins, and digital securities. According to SEC Chairman Paul Atkins<\/strong>, this interpretation will help market participants understand the regulatory jurisdiction between the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).<\/p>\n The interpretation also addresses how a ‘non-security crypto asset’ may become subject to, and how it may cease to be subject to, an investment contract. CFTC Chairman Michael S. Selig<\/em> stated that this interpretation will provide clear guidance on the status of crypto assets under federal securities and commodity laws.<\/p>\n The SEC’s interpretation is a significant step towards providing regulatory clarity for the crypto industry. It is expected to have a positive impact on the market, as it will provide a clear understanding of which crypto assets are considered securities and which are not. However, it is also important to note that this interpretation is not a formal rule and may be subject to change.<\/p>\n According to sources<\/strong>, the SEC’s interpretation is a major step in the right direction, but it is still unclear how it will be implemented in practice. Experts<\/em> agree that this interpretation will provide a clear understanding of the regulatory landscape for crypto assets, but it is still important to monitor the situation closely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Introduction to Crypto Guidance The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2583,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[868,1105,532,690,1438],"class_list":["post-2584","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","tag-ai-regulation","tag-ai-security","tag-alternative-cryptocurrencies","tag-cftc","tag-citadel-securities"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/casi.live\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2584","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/casi.live\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/casi.live\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/casi.live\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/casi.live\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2584"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/casi.live\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2584\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/casi.live\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/casi.live\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2584"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/casi.live\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2584"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/casi.live\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Investment Contracts<\/h3>\n
