Lesson Overview

5.5 – The Role of the SEC in Crypto: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) plays a major role in determining which digital assets qualify as securities. While Bitcoin itself is considered a commodity, many token sales fall under SEC oversight. The agency focuses on protecting investors from fraud and ensuring disclosure transparency. When crypto projects raise capital through token issuance, the SEC evaluates them under the Howey Test. This process decides whether they require registration or exemptions. The SEC’s interpretations shape ICO regulation, DeFi compliance, and exchange-traded product approvals. Understanding its role helps participants navigate legal boundaries while maintaining market credibility.
