Expanding on this, she said regulating a staking product opens up several questions, such as:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Whether the staking program as a whole would be registered or whether each token\u2019s staking program would be separately registered, what the important disclosures what be, and what the accounting implications would be for Kraken.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Further, Commissioner Pierce blasted the agency's regulation by enforcement approach, saying the use of enforcement action to tell lay down the law &#8220;is not an efficient or fair way of regulating.&#8221; She also pointed out that a &#8220;cookie-cutter&#8221; approach is incorrect, considering the wide variations in staking products.<\/p>\n<h2>What now for staking in the U.S.?<\/h2>\n<p>Input Output CEO <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IOHK_Charles\/status\/1623781237444972544\">Charles Hoskinson<\/a> verified Commissioner Pierce's point, saying:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;There is no canonical definition of what delegation, staking, liquidity, custodianship really means.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Further, he also mentioned that although Tezos, Cardano, Ethereum, Avalanche, etc., are all &#8220;staking systems,&#8221; they have very different staking mechanics which can lead to &#8220;regulatory overhit&#8221; by treating them as the same.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Some are custodial and non-liquid, others are liquid and non-custodial. Some involve a bonding or slashing mechanism. Others involve no bonding, no slashing mechanism.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Nonetheless, decentralized services are expected to benefit hugely from the SEC clampdown for now.<\/p>\n<p>Wave Financial's head of DeFi <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesstimes.com.sg\/companies-markets\/us-crypto-staking-crackdown-seen-huge-gift-decentralised-services\">Henry Elder<\/a> said the clampdown is a gift to DeFi staking protocols such as Lido, Rocket Pool, and StakeWise.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Their competitive advantage is an innate resistance to regulatory action \u2014 something that mattered little in the absence of such action.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Similarly, Columbia Business School's Professor Austin Campbell said people who wish to stake will turn to DeFi options, which will likely lead to a spike in DeFi staking activity in the short term.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The post-mortum on Kraken&#8217;s staking enforcement by the SEC has begun.
