The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued new guidance on liquid staking, raising expectations that staking could soon be permitted within spot crypto ETFs. Nate Geraci, co-founder of The ETF Institute, described this as the ‘last hurdle’ before approval, with liquid staking tokens (LSTs) enabling liquidity management. The SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance clarified that, under certain structures, liquid staking does not involve securities offerings. Industry leaders, including Jito Labs CEO Lucas Bruder, praised the SEC’s nuanced understanding and anticipate broader use of LSTs in financial instruments like ETFs. The guidance follows a May 29 staff view that protocol staking does not require registration, though the SEC noted its stance applies only to specific scenarios. This development could streamline the approval process for staking-enabled ETFs.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has provided regulatory clarity on liquid staking, stating that under certain conditions, liquid staking activities and their receipt tokens do not constitute securities offerings. This guidance is seen as a significant milestone for decentralized finance (DeFi) and institutional adoption of digital assets. Industry leaders, such as Alluvial CEO Mara Schmiedt, argue that this decision will allow institutions to confidently integrate liquid staking tokens (LSTs) into their offerings, unlocking new revenue streams, expanding customer bases, and fostering secondary markets for staked assets. The move is viewed as a rare positive development in crypto regulation, potentially accelerating mainstream financial participation in blockchain-based staking solutions.
