The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has clarified that proof-of-stake staking does not constitute an investment offer. This announcement, made in Washington on May 29, marks a significant development in the regulatory landscape for cryptocurrency investments.
The decision could have far-reaching implications for platforms and exchanges offering staking services, particularly those dealing with proof-of-stake assets. Market participants will be watching closely for further guidance on how this interpretation will be applied in practice.
