SEC Statements on Crypto Mining and Stablecoins

If you're in blockchain, finance, or just love decoding crypto regulation, this episode is for you.

On the latest Blockchain Finance Podcast, I break down two major developments from the SEC that could reshape how the U.S. approaches the digital assets industry:

Proof-of-Work Mining (Solo mining or mining pool) = NOT Securities : On March 20, the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance made it official: solo and pooled PoW mining activities don’t require SEC registration. That’s a green light for miners—and a regulatory breath of fresh air.
Stablecoins (Certain Ones) = Also NOT Securities : Specifically, “Covered Stablecoins”—those pegged 1:1 to the USD—do not meet the criteria of securities under the Howey or Reves tests.

What does this mean?

Builders can build without fear of retroactive enforcement.
Certain POW Miners can operate without SEC registration.
Issuers of certain stablecoins now have a blueprint for staying compliant.

And the bigger story? These aren’t one-offs. From rescinding SAB 121 to public statements about ending “gotcha” regulation, the SEC is pivoting—from enforcement to regulatory clarity.

Whether you're a miner, developer, investor, or policy nerd—this episode is packed with insights you can actually use.
