Lido: SEC clarifies that liquid pledge is not a security attribute, which helps promote institutional adoption and the development of DeFi ecosystem

BlockBeats news, on August 6th, Lido issued a statement stating that "the guidance released by the US SEC yesterday confirms that liquid staking and receipt tokens similar to stETH do not constitute securities, providing long-term regulatory clarity for Lido and the entire industry. Lido's operations in the United States have now gained higher regulatory clarity, eliminating the shadow of uncertainty that previously hindered institutional adoption and DeFi integration. This stance has opened the door for domestic platforms, financial institutions, and users in the United States to use Lido more freely. Without worrying about triggering securities laws, more protocols may integrate stETH, further expanding its application scenarios in the DeFi field. This also strengthens the reasons for centralized trading platforms and fintech platforms to support Lido liquid pledge, which is expected to bring more capital inflows
