XDC Network Hits $300M Staking Milestone as SEC Provides PoS Clarity

The XDC Network has surpassed $300 million in total staked value, marking a significant achievement for the hybrid blockchain platform. This milestone comes alongside a crucial regulatory development, as the U.S. SEC clearly differentiated proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus from securities transactions—a long-awaited clarification for the crypto industry.

Previous regulatory uncertainty had discouraged institutional participation in PoS networks. The SEC's updated position removes a major obstacle, especially for networks like XDC where validators are key to governance and security. "This isn't just about compliance—it's about enabling institutional-grade validation," noted a blockchain architect familiar with XDC's enterprise focus.

With 2.66 billion XDC now staked across its masternode system, the network ranks among CoinMarketCap's top six PoS platforms. The staking surge reflects growing confidence in XDC's hybrid architecture, which blends public blockchain accessibility with private network features for enterprise adoption.
