Major Win For Crypto: SEC Rules Liquid Staking Activities Outside Securities Regulation

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

In what could mark a significant advancement for the cryptocurrency industry, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued new guidance regarding liquid staking activities. 

This development follows a concerted effort by industry leaders, including Jito Labs, Bitwise Asset Management, Multicoin Capital, VanEck, and the Solana Institute, who recently urged the SEC to allow the use of liquid staking tokens in proposed exchange-traded products (ETPs) for Solana (SOL).

SEC Clarifies Liquid Staking Regulations

The SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance released a statement clarifying how federal securities laws apply to liquid staking. This process involves staking crypto assets via a software protocol, which in turn generates a “liquid staking receipt token.” 

This token serves as proof of ownership for the staked assets and any rewards generated. Importantly, the SEC indicated that under certain conditions, the activities associated with liquid staking may not constitute the offer or sale of securities, as defined by the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The recently appointed Chairman Paul S. Atkins emphasized the SEC’s commitment to providing clear regulatory guidance for emerging technologies and financial practices. 

He described the staff statement on liquid staking as a crucial step in delineating which crypto asset activities fall outside the SEC’s jurisdiction. This effort aligns with the SEC’s broader initiative, dubbed “Project Crypto,” which aims to position the US as a global leader in the crypto landscape, echoing President Donald Trump’s commitment to fostering the industry.

Atkins remarked on the importance of a regulatory framework that encourages innovation rather than stifles it. He pointed out that a balanced regulatory approach enhances America’s leadership in the digital asset space. 

Project Crypto

The SEC’s goals include bringing digital asset activities back to the US, modernizing custody requirements for digital assets, and promoting experimentation with innovative technologies—such as tokenizing equities.

Since taking office, Atkins has already begun to reverse some of the more stringent measures implemented by his predecessor, Gary Gensler. This shift has been supported by Commissioner Hester Peirce, known affectionately in the industry as “crypto mom” for her pro-crypto stance.

Among the notable actions taken under Atkins’ leadership is the withdrawal of lawsuits against several prominent companies in the sector, including Coinbase, Uniswap, and Robinhood, as well as initiating new rulemaking efforts to adapt to the evolving landscape of digital finance.

Overall, the SEC’s recent guidance on liquid staking and the broader Project Crypto initiative signal a pivotal moment for the digital asset industry, potentially fostering an environment ripe for innovation and growth.
