SEC Commissioner Uyeda Signals Flexible Approach to Crypto Regulation, Exempts Memecoins from Securities Classification
SEC Commissioner Uyeda Signals Flexible Approach to Crypto Regulation, Exempts Memecoins from Securities Classification

SEC Commissioner Mark Uyeda has drawn a clear line for crypto assets that fall outside securities regulations, explicitly naming memecoins, non-interest-bearing stablecoins, and Proof-of-Work tokens. His CNBC interview reinforced a February staff guidance, emphasizing these assets lack investment contracts—the cornerstone of the Howey Test.
The regulatory clarity arrives as the SEC prepares to refine its crypto framework through public engagement. Uyeda’s stance injects Optimism into meme-driven markets while maintaining the agency’s focus on investor protection. This delineation could accelerate institutional participation in non-security crypto assets.
