🔓 SEC recognized: liquid staking is not a security
The SEC has taken a historic step: liquid staking, when meeting certain conditions, is not considered a security. This removes the main regulatory barrier for projects like Lido, Rocket Pool, Jito, and staking services of Coinbase.
📌 Conditions for legality:
— No control over users' funds
— No promises of fixed profits
— No investment decisions made by the provider
📈 Why this is important:
1️⃣ Staking can be integrated into ETFs
2️⃣ Risks for large providers have been alleviated
3️⃣ The market has been given a clear definition that has been awaited since 2020
🚀 This is not just a solution for DeFi — it is a green light for institutional demand. Now, liquid staking can become part of ETFs for Ethereum, Solana, and other networks, creating infrastructure for new capital inflow.
💡 The next step is the official inclusion of such mechanisms in spot ETFs. If this happens — we are in for a true rebirth of DeFi, but on a legal basis.
