#SECGuidance refers to the official recommendations, rules, and interpretive statements issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to provide clarity on securities laws and ensure market transparency and investor protection. These guidelines help businesses, investors, and legal professionals understand how to comply with federal securities regulations. They can cover a wide range of topics, including disclosures, trading practices, cryptocurrencies, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting. SEC guidance does not carry the force of law like formal rules, but it strongly influences how the SEC enforces regulations and how companies operate to remain compliant. For instance, in the growing field of digital assets, SEC guidance has been critical in determining whether certain tokens qualify as securities. By issuing this guidance, the SEC aims to adapt to evolving markets, clarify grey areas, and support fair and efficient capital markets that foster investor confidence and sustainable economic growth.
