Circle asks the SEC for technology-neutral treatment of networks

Circle published its response to the SEC's proposed Regulation Crypto Assets on October 28, following a submission on October 20. The letter asks for technology-neutral treatment of blockchain structures and consistency with the GENIUS Act.

The issue reaches beyond token issuance. Rules around public networks, disclosure and investment contracts affect which infrastructure businesses can use and how they explain it to customers and regulators.

This is an issuer's policy position on a proposed framework. A filed comment is part of the rulemaking process, rather than confirmation that the SEC has adopted the requested interpretation.
