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

美國證券交易委員會（SEC）週二發表聲明稱，加密貨幣流動性質押活動不被視為證券。 SEC 今天已多次發表支持加密貨幣的聲明，最新聲明進一步提升了 SEC 對加密貨幣質押的透明度。

SEC 的聲明寫道：「該部門認為，與協議質押相關的「流動性質押活動」不涉及 1933 年證券法（簡稱「證券法」）第 2(a)(1) 條或 1934 年證券交易法（簡稱「交易法」）第 3(a)(10) 條所定義的證券的發行和出售。1111因此，該部門認為，流動性質押活動的參與者無需根據證券法向證券交易委員會註冊交易，也不屬於證券法規定的與這些流動性質押活動相關的註冊豁免範圍。
此項聲明為流動性質押領域的參與者提供了清晰的指引，確保此類活動不受通常適用於證券的監管框架的約束。 SEC主席保羅·阿特金斯在一份聲明中表示：“今天發布的關於流動性質押的工作人員聲明，對於澄清工作人員對不屬於SEC管轄範圍的加密資產活動的看法，是向前邁出的重要一步。”
該部門還認為，以本聲明中描述的方式和情況下提供的和出售 Staking Receipt Tokens，不涉及《證券法》第 2(a)(1) 條或《交易法》第 3(a)(10) 條規定意義內的證券的提供和出售，除非存入的涵蓋加密資產是投資合約的一部分或受投資合約的約束。 12 因此，參與鑄造、發行和贖回 Staking Receipt Tokens 過程的 Liquid Staking 提供者（如本聲明中所述）以及參與二級市場提供和銷售 Staking Receipt Tokens 的人員無需根據《證券法》向證券交易委員會註冊這些交易，也不需要屬於《證券法》的註冊豁免範圍之一，除非存入的資產豁免範圍是根據《證券法》向證券交易委員會註冊這些交易，也不需要屬於《證券法》的註冊豁免範圍之一，除非存入的資產豁免範圍是受合約投資的一部分。

今天早些時候，美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 將穩定幣視為現金。在現任美國總統唐納德·川普回歸後的幾個月裡，SEC 改變了對加密貨幣行業的立場。根據週五發布的新聞稿稱，SEC 的加密貨幣工作小組還計劃在美國各地舉辦多場「加密貨幣圓桌會議」。 SEC 的最新指導意見也與川普於 7 月簽署的《天才法案》(GENIUS Act) 一致。該法案正式承認受監管的穩定幣為現金，是一種既非證券也非商品的新型金融工具。
