🔥 NEW: Nasdaq Tells SEC—It’s Time to Get Serious About Digital Asset Rules

Nasdaq just sent a 23-page letter to the SEC, and the message is loud and clear: crypto needs better rules, not more confusion.

Here’s what you need to know:

📢 They Want Structure, Not Silence

Nasdaq is asking the SEC to stop dragging its feet and build a proper framework to regulate digital assets. The idea? Digital assets can fit into traditional markets—with the right classification and oversight.

🧩 Four Clear Buckets for Crypto Assets

They’ve proposed a 4-tier model to sort digital assets:

1. Tokenized Stocks & Bonds (like traditional securities)

2. Digital Asset Investment Contracts (based on a clearer Howey test)

3. Digital Commodities (Bitcoin, ETH—these go under CFTC)

4. Other Digital Assets (tokens that don’t fall into the first three)

⚖️ New Label for Crypto Platforms

They’re suggesting a "crossover trading designation" for exchanges that handle a mix of digital assets—basically a regulatory passport to keep things legal and secure.

🛡️ Protect the Investors

Nasdaq is stressing the importance of tight oversight on vertically integrated crypto firms—those that do everything from trading to custody. The goal: more accountability, less risk.

Bottom line? Nasdaq’s putting pressure on the SEC to stop the regulatory guessing game and make it easier for crypto to grow responsibly inside U.S. markets.
