SEC Staff Says Token Buybacks Don't Make Crypto a Security—If the Network Works#SEC $BTC
{spot}(BTCUSDT)
$BTC Crypto projects looking to buy back their own tokens just got a green light from the SEC's staff, with one big condition.
In new FAQs published Friday, the agency's Division of Corporation Finance said that once a crypto system is functional, announcing a token buyback program doesn't amount to a promise of "essential managerial efforts." That's a key ingredient of the Howey test, the Supreme Court standard for deciding whether something is an investment contract, and therefore a security.
The picture changes for networks that aren't functional yet. There, staff said, a buyback announcement could cross the line if the issuer pitches it as generating yield or returns for holders.
The FAQs also said that after a network is functional, promises to maintain, upgrade or grow it wouldn't satisfy Howey. Promoting a system's current uses, or making vague aspirational statements that don't tout profit, likely wouldn't either.
Gabriel Shapiro, a corporate securities attorney at MetaLeX Labs and former general counsel at Delphi Labs, said the guidance goes a long way.
"The securities laws are starting to look opt-in now, at least as applied by the SEC to crypto," he wrote on X. The buyback section, he added, "goes further than I expected."
In Shapiro's reading, teams can keep building, prop up prices with buybacks and enjoy many perks of a public investment without giving holders shareholder-style rights. "They have opened a loophole in a regulatory regime whose whole point was supposed to be that you couldn't draft your way around economic reality," he wrote.
Crypto's bigger trend, he argued, isn't tokenized equity but the drive to "get all the benefits of equity with none of the burdens."

👋 END OF AN ERA: Crypto Mom is Leaving!
This is heartbreaking news for the entire crypto family.
U.S. SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, the woman we all love and respect as "Crypto Mom", is officially departing on October 2.
Since January 2018, when everyone at the SEC was only talking about enforcement and lawsuits, SHE was the only one who fought for us.
She fought for clear rules, not punishment.
She led the Crypto Task Force.
She pushed for proper regulation for Crypto Assets and Tokenized Securities.
While others tried to kill crypto, she tried to understand it.
For 9 long years, she was our voice inside the SEC. She stood alone for innovation, for freedom, for us.
Thank you, Crypto Mom, for 9 years of courage. Your legacy will live forever in crypto history. ❤️
But now the biggest question is here:
Without Crypto Mom in the SEC, will crypto regulation become more strict or more friendly? What do you think?

The SEC is finally offering some much-needed nuance. New staff guidance suggests that token buybacks on a truly functional network do not automatically classify an asset as a security. This creates a realistic compliance path for utility tokens instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all approach. If networks deliver actual utility, projects gain room to breathe. It almost feels like securities laws are becoming optional for builders who focus on decentralization first. A massive win for industry growth! #CryptoRegulation #SEC #Web3

The SEC's "Crypto Mom" is leaving in 7 days -- and it's dropping the agency to just 2 sitting commissioners with no one running its Crypto Task Force.
The news: Commissioner Hester Peirce, the SEC's most consistently pro-crypto voice since 2018 and the architect of its Crypto Task Force, posted her resignation letter Sept 25, confirming her final day as Oct 2. That leaves the five-seat Commission with only Chairman Paul Atkins and Commissioner Mark Uyeda -- both Republicans -- while both Democratic seats remain vacant and no successor has been named. Peirce is headed to Regent University School of Law as an associate professor starting in November, closing out an eight-year tenure that included leading the SEC's spot Bitcoin ETF approval push.
The catch: a two-person Commission with no task-force chief doesn't mean crypto rulemaking stops -- Atkins and Uyeda can still act, and the SEC issued fresh crypto-FAQ guidance the same week Peirce announced her exit. But it does mean less internal pushback for pro-crypto positions and an open question of who picks up task-force continuity with the seat unfilled.
Our read: Peirce's departure matters less for any single pending decision and more for what it signals about the SEC's bench depth going into a stretch where crypto ETF and token-classification questions keep piling up.
Does a two-commissioner SEC change how confident you feel about the pace of crypto regulatory clarity, or does the direction (Atkins/Uyeda are both crypto-friendly) matter more than the headcount?
Not financial advice. DYOR.

🚨 Crypto Mom Is Leaving The SEC — Why Now?
Hester Peirce leaves the SEC on October 2, right as the agency is pushing forward with a much clearer crypto rulebook.
Peirce, known as "Crypto Mom," has been an SEC commissioner since 2018 and has led its Crypto Task Force since February 2025. Her departure is a planned transition after her term expired in 2025, not a reported protest or dispute.
But look at what is happening before she leaves.
On August 18, the SEC proposed Regulation Crypto Assets, including new exemptions and a safe harbor for certain crypto offerings. On September 17, it approved a 5-year conditional exemption for certain tokenized-stock trading venues and liquidity providers. And on September 25, the SEC released new crypto FAQs.
Peirce was still speaking about crypto policy on September 23, just days before her exit.
👉 So what now?
Her departure doesn't automatically stop these policies. The Crypto Task Force remains active, with Chairman Paul Atkins and Commissioner Mark Uyeda continuing at the SEC.
For crypto, the key thing to watch is whether the SEC keeps turning these proposals, exemptions and guidance into actual rules and implementation after October 2.
That could matter far more than the resignation itself. $ZEC $ENA $SUI #SEC

🇺🇸 SEC CRYPTO UPDATEThe SEC has provided additional clarity around when crypto assets may fall under securities laws.
The key question remains:
Is the asset being offered and sold as part of an investment contract?
🔹 Howey still matters
🔹 Managerial efforts can be important
🔹 Utility alone doesn't automatically make an asset a security
🔹 Functionality and decentralization can affect the analysis
🔹 Buybacks may be treated differently depending on the circumstances
📌 Crypto regulation is becoming increasingly focused on how an asset is offered, marketed, and supported—not simply the technology behind it.

Waiting on Capitol Hill for crypto legislation is officially a fool's errand. When the Clarity Act stalled, federal watchdogs didn't hesitate to step into the void. The SEC, CFTC, and Fed are now aggressively drafting the rulebook themselves, effectively regulating through enforcement and policy shifts. While legal clarity is desperately needed, letting unelected agencies shape the ecosystem comes with heavy baggage. Decentralization could face an uphill battle as bureaucrats take the steering wheel. $BTC $ETH #Regulation #SEC #CryptoNews

Hester Peirce to Leave SEC on October 2: What Comes Next for Crypto Policy?
The SEC’s crypto policy work is approaching a leadership transition.
Commissioner Hester Peirce shared her resignation letter on September 25, with her departure effective October 2, 2026. She has served as an SEC commissioner since 2018.
Peirce leads the SEC’s Crypto Task Force, whose work includes clarifying token classifications, disclosure requirements and registration pathways.
Her move into academia was already planned: Regent University announced in May that she will join its law school faculty in November 2026.
My take: Her departure makes continuity worth watching. Crypto businesses need consistent expectations when deciding how to launch products, structure disclosures and commit development resources. A clear handover could help ongoing initiatives retain momentum, while uncertainty over responsibilities could make planning harder.
I’d watch who assumes responsibility for the task force, how pending proposals progress and whether implementation schedules become clearer. Those developments would provide concrete evidence of policy direction.
For market participants, a personnel announcement alone offers little basis for predicting token prices or the outcome of future rulemaking. The next substantive decisions will help show how the agency’s approach develops.
What would give you greater confidence in policy continuity: a clear leadership handover or firmer implementation timelines?

Hester Peirce to Leave SEC on October 2: What Comes Next for Crypto Policy?
The SEC’s crypto policy work is approaching a leadership transition.
Commissioner Hester Peirce shared her resignation letter on September 25, with her departure effective October 2, 2026. She has served as an SEC commissioner since 2018.
Peirce leads the SEC’s Crypto Task Force, whose work includes clarifying token classifications, disclosure requirements and registration pathways.
Her move into academia was already planned: Regent University announced in May that she will join its law school faculty in November 2026.
My take: Her departure makes continuity worth watching. Crypto businesses need consistent expectations when deciding how to launch products, structure disclosures and commit development resources. A clear handover could help ongoing initiatives retain momentum, while uncertainty over responsibilities could make planning harder.
I’d watch who assumes responsibility for the task force, how pending proposals progress and whether implementation schedules become clearer. Those developments would provide concrete evidence of policy direction.
For market participants, a personnel announcement alone offers little basis for predicting token prices or the outcome of future rulemaking. The next substantive decisions will help show how the agency’s approach develops.
What would give you greater confidence in policy continuity: a clear leadership handover or firmer implementation timelines?

SEC Gives Crypto Builders a Major Signal: Buybacks & Upgrades Explained🚨 The SEC just gave crypto builders a clearer signal. 👀
New SEC staff guidance says certain activities on functional crypto networks may not by themselves make a token an investment contract.
That includes:
🔧 Network upgrades
💰 Certain token buybacks
📦 Product and ecosystem improvements
But there's an important catch.
⚠️ It's not a blanket exemption.
If a network is still unfinished, or buybacks are promoted with promises of profits based on a team's future efforts, the securities analysis can be different.
Still, the guidance gives established crypto networks more clarity around how ongoing development and token economics may be treated.
The bigger story?
US regulators are becoming more specific about how existing securities principles apply to crypto. 👀
🔥 Could this clearer framework encourage more crypto projects to build in the US?
