SEC Waives Registration Requirements for Covered Stablecoins
Stay in the know on crypto by frequently visiting Crypto News Today
According to guidance from the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance, the issuance and redemption of Covered Stablecoins like USDC and USDT do not trigger securities laws. This means these stablecoins are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The decision provides regulatory clarity for stablecoins used in digital payments, crypto settlements, and on-chain value storage—as long as they’re not pitched as investment products.

Not All Stablecoins Are in the Clear
Importantly, the SEC drew a line: this exemption does not extend to yield-generating stablecoins or algorithmic-backed tokens. These other classes of stable assets may still fall under securities laws and are subject to further scrutiny. The exclusion highlights the agency’s ongoing caution around DeFi protocols and non-collateralized stablecoin models.
Congressional Eyes on Stablecoin Legislation
This move comes as U.S. lawmakers continue pushing for a comprehensive stablecoin framework, aiming to balance financial innovation with investor protection. While the SEC’s clarification boosts regulatory confidence for developers and exchanges handling USDC and USDT, the broader stablecoin landscape remains under active legislative review.
