ME News update, September 27 (UTC+8). On September 25, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Division of Corporation Finance issued a new batch of commonly asked questions on crypto assets, covering topics including token repurchases, network development and upgrades, staking-derivative tokens, and secondary market trading platforms. The document states that when an issuer describes a repurchase as a means of generating profits or returns, the repurchase may involve an analysis under investment contract principles; staking-derivative tokens that are linked to digital commodities that do not constitute investment contracts may be regarded as digital tools that evidence ownership of underlying assets, and when issued by a protocol-based liquid staking services provider, may also constitute digital commodities. This document is an employee guidance and does not constitute new rules or change existing law. (Source: ME)
