Plume Network Urges SEC to Regulate Crypto Vault Curators, Not Protocol Developers

  • Plume split the vault ecosystem into four roles: protocol developer, curator, administrator and vault token issuer
  • Regulation should target curators and token issuers, not immutable smart-contract infrastructure
  • Plume wants SEC rules to recognize distributed-ledger wallet addresses as valid transfer-agent records
  • The company proposed embedding asset-level AML controls with freeze-and-seize functions into tokenized fund interests
Why it matters: The outcome will shape who bears responsibility for DeFi vaults in the U.S. and how far tokenized funds can operate onchain.
