The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) stated on Tuesday that cryptocurrency liquidity staking activities are not considered securities activities.

The SEC has issued multiple statements supporting cryptocurrency, with the latest statement further enhancing the SEC's transparency regarding cryptocurrency staking.

The SEC's statement reads:

"The department believes that 'liquidity staking activities' related to protocol staking do not involve the issuance and sale of securities as defined by Section 2(a)(1) of the Securities Act of 1933 ('Securities Act') or Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ('Exchange Act').[11] Therefore, the department believes that participants in liquidity staking activities are not required to register transactions with the SEC under the Securities Act, nor do they fall within the registration exemptions related to these liquidity staking activities as defined by the Securities Act."

This statement provides clear guidance for participants in the liquidity staking space, ensuring that such activities are not subject to the regulatory framework typically applicable to securities. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins stated in a release, "The staff statement on liquidity staking issued today is an important step forward in clarifying the staff's views on crypto asset activities that are not within the SEC's jurisdiction."

The department also believes that the provision and sale of staking receipt tokens as described in this statement do not involve the offering 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 crypto assets are part of or subject to an investment contract. [12]

Therefore, liquidity staking service providers (as described in this statement) involved in the minting, issuance, and redemption of staking receipt tokens, as well as individuals participating in the secondary market for the provision and sale of staking receipt tokens, are not required to register these transactions with the SEC under the Securities Act, nor are they subject to the registration exemptions of the Securities Act, unless the deposited crypto assets are part of or subject to an investment contract.

Earlier today, the SEC classified stablecoins as cash.

In the months following the return of current U.S. President Donald Trump, the agency has changed its tone towards the cryptocurrency industry.

According to a press release issued on Friday, the SEC's cryptocurrency task force also plans to hold a series of "cryptocurrency roundtables" across the U.S. The SEC's latest guidance is also consistent with the GENIUS Act signed by Trump in July. This act formally recognizes regulated stablecoins as cash, a new type of financial instrument that is neither a security nor a commodity.
