According to Henri Arslanian, the U.S. SEC has clarified that crypto staking does not constitute a securities transaction, which is a major boost for staking platforms and DeFi protocols (Source: @HenriArslanian, June 1, 2025). Additionally, the Trump administration has rescinded a Biden-era restriction that limited crypto investments in 401(k) plans, increasing institutional exposure to digital assets. The SEC also dismissed a high-profile lawsuit against an undisclosed crypto entity, signaling a friendlier regulatory climate. These regulatory developments are expected to improve market sentiment and drive increased trading activity in the crypto sector.
