BlockBeats News, May 31, the Corporate Finance Department of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a statement on May 29, 2025, clarifying that three types of "Staking" activities in a Proof of Stake (PoS) network do not constitute securities issuance and sales under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The three types of staking covered include node operators' own asset staking, self-custody staking, and custodial institution staking on behalf of clients. This means that participants do not need to register with the SEC or rely on registration exemptions, greatly reducing compliance risks.

The statement also specifically points out that staking rewards are a service reward provided by PoS networks to validators based on the protocol, rather than a profit distribution from others' entrepreneurial or management efforts, further clarifying its legitimate and compliant nature.
