Staking secures networks. It is not a security. Read our letter to the SEC here 👇
cryptoforinnovation.org
Nearly 30 leading crypto organizations urged the SEC to provide clear guidance on the regulatory treatment of staking and staking services.
Today we @crypto_council @TeamPOSA — with 30+ leading orgs — submitted a letter urging the SEC to clarify that staking is a technical process, not a securities activity. We are aligned across the industry. The time for clarity is now.

Spot on from @ameensol. We (@0xPredicate) literally co-authored a report on the policy and legal implication of inclusion lists with @TeamPOSA and discussed how something like this is a bad idea. And then we gave a talk on these same points at the @BlockchainAssn Summit last
The case against FOCIL (which I learned about today): ETH devs, I love you. You mean well. But when you create an EIP to solve the problem of "filtering out transactions with sanctioned addresses" and your solution is "to allow validators to impose constraints on builders by

@TeamPOSA has been banging this drum since 2021. Hugely important
For years, miners and stakers have been taxed TWICE. Once when they receive block rewards, and again when they sell it. It’s time to stop this unfair tax treatment and ensure America is the world’s Bitcoin and Crypto Superpower. 🇺🇸

We at @TeamPOSA have been advocating for proper tax treatment of staking (and mining!) rewards for years. Ensuring that staking does not give rise to UBTI would pave the way for staking in ETPs. Let’s get this done.
As the Senate votes on OBBB—aimed at lowering taxes and restoring tax policy certainty—CCI urges inclusion of a comprehensive digital asset tax framework. Among other things, a de minimis exemption, mark to market, language providing for proper taxation of staking/mining rewards

The most important part of the @SECGov 's staking guidance is the "ancillary services" section because these findings were far more uncertain than the rest of the memo. While it was predictable that Corp Fin would find that solo staking, noncustodial staking services, and even

Legal analysis is important - but so is ensuring that regulators & lawmakers understand the nuances re: how staking actually works. It was great to work w/ @TeamPOSA members led by @alluvialfinance @evanmthomas to put together this explainer on the mechanics of Ethereum staking👇
Lawmakers and regulators needed a clear explainer on Ethereum staking—so @alluvialfinance's @evanmthomas and CCI’s @amangiero created one. From staking ETH, to earning rewards, and to withdrawals, this step-by-step guide breaks it all down. https://t.co/mHzZUED62a

“Nobody's lugging around bars of gold or grain—they're putting it in a silo or in a warehouse. You get this receipt, this document of title, that evidences your legal and beneficial ownership of that commodity. Really, in the digital world, there's no reason that we shouldn't

It’s a good day for crypto. Now is not only the time to build, but to build sound crypto policy. LFG 💪
SEC staff have agreed to dismiss their case against us (pending Commission approval). But this isn’t the end. It’s the beginning. And if there were ever a time to build—that time is now. Thank you to everyone who stood with us, and stood with crypto.
