The Sec has clarified stinging adjustment

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) noted that under certain conditions, Stapping does not violate US law on securities.

The document was prepared by the Department Corporate finances are not legally binding – this is the analytical position of the regulator.

According to Coindesk, a new explanation actually opens the way to companies to provide stinging services-including pools, castodial storage and other accompanying services. SEC does not plan to persecute persons or companies involved in such activities.

NOD operators, validators, castodians, delegates, nominees and organizations that carry out stinging as their own and client assets are included in the specified list.

The Figment CEO, Lobler Gaibl, called the main advantage of the document the legitimization of activities that US companies have previously avoided because of fears by the regulator.

“They also took into account the auxiliary stinging services. For example, we provide insurance from Sleshing, as well as adapted periods of anbooding. According to SEC representatives, it does not make us as a managing asset as a stinging provider, ”he explained.

Gaibl noted that companies can now officially provide such services, including through pools.

Elison Mangieri with Crypto Council for Innovation called the SEC statement a gradual but important step in the direction of reasonable regulation.

“This means that the stakers will be treated just like miners. Especially in the background of the past years when SEC under the guidance [Гері] Gensler was actively pursuing stinging as a service, ”she said.

In her opinion, it is symbolic that such a position appeared on the eve of Dedlein to consider the application for stinging in the spotting of Ethereum-ETF.

Gaibl believes that ETF providers are probably already given a stinging permit, but the SEC position will accelerate the process.

A separate notable point in the document specifies that it concerns a narrow spectrum of cases and has no law. The commission explicitly states that this does not replace the rulemaking, which remains the prerogative of the commissioners.

“This document considers only some types of activity related to secured cryptoactive assets that do not have internal economic value or rights, such as passive income or transfer of rights to future profits or business assets,” the document stated.

Recall that in January, Consensys founder Joe Lubin suggested that SEC would soon approve the inclusion of stinging in the structure of Ethereum-ETF in the United States.
