The SEC has determined that proof-of-work mining does not involve the offer or sale of securities, drawing a clear line between mining activities and regulatory concerns.
What’s the Scoop?
- SEC Clarifies Mining Rules: The SEC has officially stated that proof-of-work mining does not constitute the offer or sale of securities, separating it from typical regulatory oversight applied to other crypto activities.
- Mining Pools Addressed: The SEC also considered the implications of mining pools, where participants combine their processing power and divide rewards, affirming these do not imply securities offerings either.
