The SEC and CFTC have drawn a "red line" in crypto—and it's a game-changer.

For those building a token-based product in the US: uncertainty has diminished. The SEC has issued an interpretation of the application of laws to cryptoassets, and the CFTC has promised coordinated administration. The key: "most cryptoassets are not securities," and investment contracts can expire.

What does this mean for businesses?
1) Tokenomics can be designed as compliance-by-design, not just a matter of luck.

2) A lifecycle model is emerging: an asset can be temporarily classified as a security and then removed from the regime.
3) Investors can more easily make DDs based on a unified matrix of categories and obligations.

Do you think this is sufficient for mass tokenization, or is a separate market structure law needed?
