The small business advocacy group recommends that Congress clarify the status of assets

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has submitted a report to Congress containing recommendations from small businesses seeking regulatory clarification on the role of digital assets.

27, the SEC’s Office of Small Business Capital Advocacy reported on recommendations from the Commission’s 40th annual Small Business Forum, held in May. Forum attendees – including all 5 SEC commissioners, 14 SEC staff, 12 small business advocates, 11 guest speakers, and 610 other US public attendees – recommend that Congress “clarify the status of digital assets to clarify when it is a security “. . “

The Small Business Forum’s recommendation did not provide additional details on why the group is seeking changes to the regulatory framework related to digital assets. However, the SEC made it clear in its response that the current standard to determine whether cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC) qualify as “investment contracts” and are therefore securities uses Howey’s test. In addition, the Commission cited the framework published in 2019 by the Strategic Center for Fintech Innovation and Technology (FinHub), which “analyzes whether digital assets are investment contracts or not and whether offers and sales of digital assets are securities transactions”.

“We encourage market participants who want to determine whether a digital asset is a security to seek advice from a securities advisor and to contact FinHub staff,” the SEC said.
