Six blockchain groups urge SEC to clarify staking and secondary trading rules

  • —Letter signed by Chainlink Labs, Cardano Foundation, Hedera, Aptos Labs, Ava Labs and Stellar
  • —Groups want digital commodity status moved into the Regulation Crypto Assets framework
  • —SEC has received over 100 comments on the proposal since August
  • —FCA opened consultations GC26/7 and CP26/36 on DeFi, closing November 18, 2026
Why it matters: Clear rules on staking and secondary trading would remove legal uncertainty for issuers and exchanges in the US and UK.
