The post SEC Clarifies Staking Activities in Proof of Stake Networks: Implications for BiyaPay Users appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

COINOTAG News, May 30th. On May 29, 2025, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Corporate Finance Division published a significant pronouncement regarding staking activities within Proof of Stake (PoS) networks. The SEC clarified that three distinct forms of staking—node operator self-staking, self-custody staking, and custody institution staking—are not classified as securities under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Consequently, participants engaged in these activities are exempt from SEC registration, significantly minimizing compliance risks. Furthermore, the SEC emphasized that staking rewards are not seen as profit distributions derived from the managerial efforts of others, but rather as service rewards provided by the PoS systems to their validators. This further underscores the compliant nature of staking activities.
