✅ The SEC has officially allowed institutional staking — clarity for PoS networks
📢 SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce confirmed: participation in Proof-of-Stake (PoS) and Delegated PoS (DPoS) — validating, running nodes, technical support — is not considered the issuance of securities.
💥 This is a regulatory breakthrough:
— ✅ Institutions can now participate in staking without fear of SEC claims;
— ✅ The path is opened for the creation of corporate staking pools, custodial solutions, and validator infrastructure.
📊 For the market this means:
— Legalization of the fundamental mechanism of Web3;
— Support for networks such as Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos, Polkadot, and others;
— A new impulse for capital inflow into PoS ecosystems.
📈 What this means:
Regulatory amnesty destroys the main fear of investors and funds in recent years. A new phase of growth begins: institutional staking is no longer in question — it is officially recognized as a technical operation, not an investment activity.
