It is the Division’s view that “Liquid Staking Activities” in connection with Protocol Staking do not involve the offer and sale of securities within the meaning of Section 2(a)(1) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) or Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”),” the SEC’s statement reads. “11 Accordingly, it is the Division’s view that participants in Liquid Staking Activities do not need to register with the Commission transactions under the Securities Act, or fall within one of the Securities Act’s exemptions from registration in connection with these Liquid Staking Activities.”
This announcement provides clarity for participants in the liquid staking sector, ensuring that such activities do not fall under the regulatory framework typically applied to securities. “Today’s staff statement on liquid staking is a significant step forward in clarifying the staff’s view about crypto asset activities that do not fall within the SEC’s jurisdiction,” SEC Chair Paul Atkins said in a statement.
It also is the Division’s view that the offer and sale of Staking Receipt Tokens, in the manner and under the circumstances described in this statement, do not involve the offer and sale of securities within the meaning of Section 2(a)(1) of the Securities Act or Section 3(a)(10) of the Exchange Act, unless the deposited Covered Crypto Assets are part of or subject to an investment contract.12 Accordingly, Liquid Staking Providers involved in the process of minting, issuing and redeeming Staking Receipt Tokens, as described in this statement, as well as persons involved in secondary market offers and sales of Staking Receipt Tokens, do not need to register those transactions with the Commission under the Securities Act or fall within one of the Securities Act’s exemptions from registration, unless the deposited Covered Crypto Assets are part of or subject to an investment contract.

Earlier today, the SEC recognized stablecoins as cash. The regulator has changed its tone on the crypto industry in the last few months following the return of current US President Donald Trump. The regulator’s crypto task force also plans to host several “crypto roundtables” across the US, according to a Friday press release. The recent SEC guidance also aligns with the recently enacted GENIUS Act, signed by Trump in July. The law formally acknowledges regulated stablecoins as cash as a new financial instrument that is not a security or commodity.

SEC: Crypto Liquid Staking Activities are Not Considered Securities

美国证券交易委员会（SEC）周二发表声明称，加密货币流动性质押活动不被视为证券。 SEC 今天已多次发表支持加密货币的声明，最新声明进一步提升了 SEC 对加密货币质押的透明度。

— Watcher.Guru（@ WatcherGuru）2025年8月5日
SEC 的声明写道：「该部门认为，与协议质押相关的「流动性质押活动」不涉及 1933 年证券法（简称「证券法」）第 2(a)(1) 条或 1934 年证券交易法（简称「交易法」）第 3(a)(10) 条所定义的证券的发行和出售。1111因此，该部门认为，流动性质押活动的参与者无需根据证券法向证券交易委员会注册交易，也不属于证券法规定的与这些流动性质押活动相关的注册豁免范围。
此项声明为流动性质押领域的参与者提供了清晰的指引，确保此类活动不受通常适用于证券的监管框架的约束。 SEC主席保罗·阿特金斯在一份声明中表示：“今天发布的关于流动性质押的工作人员声明，对于澄清工作人员对不属于SEC管辖范围的加密资产活动的看法，是向前迈出的重要一步。”
该部门还认为，以本声明中描述的方式和情况下提供的和出售 Staking Receipt Tokens，不涉及《证券法》第 2(a)(1) 条或《交易法》第 3(a)(10) 条规定意义内的证券的提供和出售，除非存入的涵盖加密资产是投资合约的一部分或受投资合约的约束。 12 因此，参与铸造、发行和赎回 Staking Receipt Tokens 过程的 Liquid Staking 提供者（如本声明中所述）以及参与二级市场提供和销售 Staking Receipt Tokens 的人员无需根据《证券法》向证券交易委员会注册这些交易，也不需要属于《证券法》的注册豁免范围之一，除非存入的资产豁免范围是根据《证券法》向证券交易委员会注册这些交易，也不需要属于《证券法》的注册豁免范围之一，除非存入的资产豁免范围是受合约投资的一部分。
