The framework also proposes standardized disclosures, industry-led compliance processes, and asset issuance and maintenance cost limits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, Saylor\u2019s presentation highlighted the potential for faster and less costly asset issuance, broader market access, and a shift in capital markets that could strengthen the US dollar and reduce national debt through strategic measures such as a Bitcoin reserve.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Revisiting staking<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Representatives from the Crypto Council for Innovation (CCI) recommended clarifying the regulatory treatment of staking services, passive blockchain data platforms, and incentive-based rewards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The meeting included 20 representatives from multiple crypto players, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/coinbase\/\">Coinbase<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/a16z\/\">a16z<\/a>, and Filecoin Foundation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They proposed that guidance or no-action relief be issued to confirm that bona fide staking services and related infrastructure providers are not subject to securities laws. This change could allow crypto exchange-traded products to include staking activities in their filings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The CCI also recommended that platforms offering blockchain exploration tools and non-custodial Web3 marketplaces be excluded from the definitions of brokers, exchanges, or alternative trading systems when these platforms provide only access or data display functions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The recommendations further called for guidance to define a non-security status for non-fungible tokens used primarily as artistic works, collectibles, virtual land, or similar non-financial applications.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additional proposals included issuing no-action letters, pausing compliance-only enforcement actions, and modifying rulemaking processes to account for decentralization and on-chain trading.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These measures aim to balance investor protection with support for industry innovation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The council urged the SEC to build on prior decisions and industry momentum to enhance regulatory clarity and investor protection in the US.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Research-driven insights on stablecoins<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MITRE Corporation presented research and development activities focusing on the crypto market and its regulatory implications.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Operating as the US Treasury\u2019s federally funded research and development center, the firm outlined its work on a logic-based approach to stablecoin regulation, developing workflow tools to support comment processing and using policy visualization systems to identify regulatory dependencies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MITRE also detailed its digital asset threat-sharing platforms and a cyber threat framework for crypto.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research findings discussed at the meeting revealed hidden centralization within decentralized finance, stressed the need for bank stress testing in scenarios coupling decentralized finance (DeFi) and traditional finance, and suggested implementing circuit breakers at the smart contract level to mitigate risk propagation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MITRE\u2019s technical work is designed to support SEC rulemaking by providing data-driven insights and innovative tools to develop a regulatory framework capable of addressing evolving challenges in the digital asset ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The meeting concludes with a comprehensive review of proposals and research aimed at establishing a regulatory framework that supports innovation while ensuring market integrity.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The SEC Crypto Task Force met with Strategy executive chair Michael Saylor, representatives from the Crypto Council for Innovation and MITRE Corporation to discuss the best approach to regulating crypto assets in the US on Feb. 21.
