#MEMEAct While there is no specific "MEME Act" directly impacting the crypto space or the Binance app as of today, May 8, 2025, it's important to understand the general landscape.
Meme Coins and Regulations:
Currently, in early 2025, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has taken the stance that typical meme coins, lacking inherent utility and driven by social media sentiment, are generally not considered securities under federal law. This means that the offer and sale of many meme coins do not require registration with the SEC. However, this also implies that investors in these types of tokens do not have the protections afforded by federal securities laws.
It's crucial to note that the SEC has stated it will look beyond the "meme coin" label. If a crypto asset marketed as a meme coin offers profit-sharing, involves ongoing development efforts suggesting an investment, or has other characteristics of a security, it could still be subject to securities regulations. Furthermore, even if meme coins are not classified as securities, fraudulent activities related to their offer and sale can still be subject to enforcement by other federal and state agencies under laws against fraud and market manipulation.
