#SECGuidance
SEC Guidance" refers to official instructions or clarifications issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These are meant to help companies and investors understand how U.S. securities laws apply, especially in areas like:
1. Cryptocurrencies & Digital Assets – The SEC provides guidance on which digital assets are considered "securities" and thus fall under their regulation.
2. Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) – The SEC often treats ICOs as securities offerings, requiring proper registration or exemption.
3. Crypto Exchanges (like Binance) – If an exchange allows trading of assets considered securities without proper registration, the SEC may take legal action.
4. Investor Protection – A key part of SEC guidance is to help protect investors from fraud and risky investments.
