According to Consensys, the company recently submitted a comment letter to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regarding potential regulatory gaps in the SEC’s latest crypto asset framework. Consensys requested that the SEC provide a safe harbor or other exemption clarifying that self-hosted, user-controlled interfaces supporting non-securities crypto assets would not require registration as broker-dealers. The company stated the measure aims to preserve U.S. users’ access to open, neutral peer-to-peer blockchain tools like MetaMask.
