$YGG The SEC has been asked by a total of six blockchain organizations to categorize digital commodities as non-securities. Also, they’ve asked the SEC to make the rules for staking and secondary trading clear.  This comes even as the SEC’s comment period ended and two DeFi consultations were opened by the UK’s FCA. Six networks want ‘digital commodity’ embedded into the rules  The advice was contained in a joint letter, signed by Chainlink Labs, the Cardano Foundation, Hedera, Aptos Labs, Ava Labs and the Stellar Development Foundation.  The six organizations are asking for one major thing; they want the SEC to change the digital commodity classification from interpretive guidance to the tenets of the proposed Regulation Crypto Assets framework.  The six organizations want the SEC to make the classification of digital commodities to be as clear as possible. They argue that the lack of clarity means developers and market participants would stay guessing as to whether the securities laws apply to them. Staking and secondary trades top the list of requests  The letter doesn’t just stop at classification of digital commodities. It also asks for clearer rules on how securities law affects secondary-market trades of digital assets, staking, and other activities linked to decentralized networks.  This is not the first time the SEC has been queried. In a joint publication with the CFTC in March, the SEC categorized crypto assets into five groups. The groups are: digital commodities, digital collectibles, digital tools, stablecoins and digital securities.  The document included sections on “protocol mining” and “protocol staking,” as well as the treatment of staking receipt tokens. The six organizations want those ideas to be incorporated into the legal framework, to provide uniform interpretations and avoid confusion.   Wall Street and DeFi groups filed opposing comments The framework proposed by the SEC has drawn over 100 comments in the two months since it was introduced in August. Crypto firms, trade bodies and Wall Street institutions all chimed in with their opinions.  The proposal aims to create an exemption for token offerings when it comes to registration. Startup exemptions would apply to offerings of up to $5 million, while fundraising exemptions cover up to $75 million over 12 months.  The draft drew support from the Hyperliquid Policy Center even though HPC argued for a change in the handling of airdrops. HPC made this claim because it believes a giveaway with no consideration does not qualify to be a securities transaction.  The Alternative Investment Management Association asked for revisions clarifying investors’ legal rights, while the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association focused on the separate five-year “innovation exemption” that became effective in September and opened the door to onchain trading of tokenized stocks.  FCA puts DeFi firms on notice with two consultations The United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has also made regulatory moves, opening two consultations on October 21, 2026.  The first consultation, GC26/7, touches on guidance for regulated firms that make use of decentralized finance, with a particular focus on operational resilience, financial crime and the Money Laundering Regulations.  The second one, CP26/36, places particular attention on recent exclusions from cryptoasset regulation as a result of legislative changes. From the FCA’s standpoint, it does not see the DeFi paper as creating new policy; rather, it sees it as clarifying current rules and regulations. The two consultations are set to expire on November 18, 2026, with a plan for final guidance set for January next year.  The wider regime brought in by the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Cryptoassets) Regulations 2026 takes effect on October 25, 2027; firms could begin applying on September 30, 2026, and have until February 28, 2027, to file.  If you're reading this, you’re already ahead.

$GRVT Six major blockchain organizations, including Chainlink Labs and the Cardano Foundation, have urged the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to formally classify digital commodities as non-securities, as the agency’s public consultation on proposed crypto regulations came to a close Tuesday. In a joint letter dated Oct. 20, Chainlink Labs, the Cardano Foundation, Hedera, Aptos Labs, Ava Labs and the Stellar Development Foundation called on the SEC to incorporate its digital commodity classification directly into the proposed Regulation Crypto Assets framework, arguing that interpretive guidance alone leaves market participants facing legal uncertainty. The groups argued that the SEC’s existing interpretation recognizes digital commodities as a distinct category but that the proposed rules fail to explicitly reflect that distinction, potentially leaving developers and other market participants uncertain about which securities regulations apply. Source: Taylor Barr The letter also seeks greater clarity on how securities laws apply to secondary-market transactions involving digital assets, as well as the treatment of staking and other activities associated with decentralized blockchain networks. The SEC’s proposed crypto framework, introduced in August, drew roughly 140 public comments over 60 days, with industry participants and legal scholars offering competing views on proposed exemptions for crypto offerings and a conditional safe harbor for certain tokens.

$GRVT As regulatory efforts regarding cryptocurrencies continue in the US, an organization representing six cryptocurrency projects has launched a joint initiative to clarify the legal status of digital commodities. Accordingly, Chainlink Labs (link), Hedera (HBAR), Aptos Labs (APT), Ava Labs (AVAX), Stellar Foundation (XLM), and Cardano Foundation (ADA) have requested the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to explicitly state in its regulations the approach to treating digital commodities separately from securities. Organizations want the SEC to add a direct definition of digital commodities to its proposed regulation of crypto assets, thereby reducing legal uncertainty in the sector. Let the Definition of Digital Commodities Be Included in Binding Regulations! At the heart of the debate is the SEC’s approach to classifying crypto assets, published in March. Six organizations argue that this approach should be incorporated into formal regulatory provisions, rather than merely being included in explanatory texts. The tokens involved include Chainlink, Hedera, Aptos, Avalanche, Stellar, and Cardano. In their letter, these six companies and foundations argue that the SEC should incorporate the crypto classification criteria it published in March into official rules to reduce regulatory uncertainty. The basis of the organizations’ request is, in particular, the view that a crypto asset being the subject of an investment contract should not, in itself, transform that asset into a security. The aim here is to clarify that even if a digital commodity is the subject of an investment contract, the asset itself is not a security. The group also wants the SEC to clearly state that a new rule will not alter existing cryptocurrency classifications or change the scope of oversight or the boundaries between the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. It is not yet clear whether the SEC will accept these requests. Changes to the final regulation could affect the operations of digital asset projects in the US and the regulatory framework of the crypto market. *This is not investment advice.

🔴 $APTUSDT — BEARISH MARKET SETUP Pair: APT/USDT Perpetual Current Price: 0.8206 USDT 24H Change: +4.94% 24H Volume: $25.27M APT is showing strong upward movement, but a sharp rally can lose momentum when buyers struggle to push prices higher. I’m watching for a potential shift in market control rather than assuming the bullish momentum will last. 📉 My Focus: If buying pressure starts fading and APT faces rejection at higher prices, sellers could gain the upper hand and trigger a downside move. A clear loss of momentum would strengthen the bearish outlook, while continued buying strength could keep the rally alive.$APT $BTC $ETH
