According to BlockBeats, on August 6, Lido stated, 'The guidance released by the U.S. SEC yesterday confirms that liquid staking and similar receipt tokens like stETH do not constitute securities, providing the long-needed regulatory clarity for Lido and the entire industry. Lido now operates in the U.S. with greater regulatory clarity, eliminating the uncertainty that previously hindered institutional adoption and DeFi integration.
This position opens the door for domestic platforms, financial institutions, and users in the United States to use Lido more freely. More protocols may integrate stETH without worrying about triggering securities laws, further expanding its application in the DeFi space. This also strengthens the rationale for centralized exchanges and fintech platforms to support Lido's liquid staking, which is expected to bring in more capital.
