#SECGuidance

PANews reports that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), via its Division of Corporation Finance, has issued new guidance to clarify how federal securities laws apply to the crypto asset market. This statement is designed to help entities meet registration and disclosure requirements for crypto-related securities, particularly those tied to networks, applications, or investment contracts. The guidance outlines essential disclosure components in filings like Regulation S-K, Form S-1, and Form 10. These include business operations, risk factors, details of the securities, management backgrounds, financial reporting, and smart contract code disclosures. The SEC aims to provide clearer direction on how these legal obligations apply to both equity and debt securities linked to crypto assets, helping market participants better understand compliance expectations in this evolving space.
