SEC Says Liquid Staking Doesn't Run Afoul of Securities Laws

The SEC just dropped a bombshell—liquid staking tokens aren’t securities. At least, not yet.

Why it matters: The ruling could turbocharge DeFi’s hottest yield game. But don’t pop the champagne—regulators still have their knives out for crypto’s other 'innovations.'

Between the lines: Wall Street’s still salty about missing the staking goldrush. Meanwhile, Ethereum validators are stacking sats while TradFi plays catch-up.

The bottom line: Another win for crypto’s regulatory arbitrage playbook. Just don’t ask about the tax implications.
