Lido: The US SEC clarified that liquid pledges are not securities, which will help promote institutional adoption and the development of the DeFi ecosystem


Lido stated that the guidance issued by the US SEC yesterday confirmed that liquid staking and similar receipt-like tokens such as stETH do not constitute securities, providing the regulatory clarity that Lido and the entire industry have needed for a long time. Lido's operations in the United States now have greater regulatory clarity, eliminating the uncertainty shadow that previously hindered institutional adoption and DeFi integration.
