The crypto community jointly requests the SEC to engage in rulemaking regarding DeFi.

Techub News, the DeFi Education Fund, together with the Chamber of Digital Commerce and several other crypto advocacy organizations, has officially sent a joint letter to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), requesting the initiation of a formal DeFi rulemaking process based on recent statements. Previously, the SEC's Division of Markets and Trading had clearly stated that certain software user interfaces used for trading cryptocurrencies do not need to register as broker-dealers.

The joint letter calls on the SEC to solidify the above principles into an objective and clear framework through notice-and-comment rulemaking, clarifying which activities fall under the definition of a "broker" while excluding infrastructure service providers such as validators, API and RPC providers, oracles, and cloud services. This would provide developers with long-term legal certainty and avoid reliance on temporary guidance.
