SEC Clarifies the Application of Federal Securities Laws to Crypto Assets
March 19, 2026-The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) today issued an interpretation clarifying how the federal securities laws apply to certain crypto assets and transactions involving crypto assets. This is a major step in the Commission's efforts to provide greater clarity regarding the Commission's treatment of crypto assets, and complements Congressional endeavors to codify a comprehensive market structure framework into statute.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) joined the interpretation to provide guidance that the CFTC and its staff will administer the Commodity Exchange Act consistent with the Commission's interpretation.
"After more than a decade of uncertainty, this interpretation will provide market participants with a clear understanding of how the Commission treats crypto assets under federal securities laws. This is what regulatory agencies are supposed to do: draw clear lines in clear terms," said SEC Chairman Paul S. Atkins.
