"name": "Channeling the old adage of “fake it till you make it,” today’s statement from the Division of Corporation Finance declares that “protocol staking” – locking up crypto tokens in a blockchain protocol to earn rewards – does not involve an investment contract. Therefore, staff concludes, protocol staking activities, whether performed by an individual or a third-party service on behalf of customers, are not securities subject to SEC jurisdiction.\n\nWhile acknowledging that its statement “does not alter or amend applicable law,” staff ignores how its conclusions conflict with that applicable law. The applicable law to determine whether something is an investment contract is the Howey test. In multiple enforcement actions, the Commission alleged that staking-as-a-service programs were investment contracts under Howey. Two separate courts upheld the legal basis of these allegations. The Commission recently dismissed one of these actions and today, paving the way for this statement on staking, it dismissed the other. But abandonment of these enforcement actions does not erase the underlying court decisions.\n\n[...]",
