Odaily Planet Daily News: Hester Peirce, Commissioner of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), has solicited opinions in February on how the newly established cryptocurrency working group should deal with cryptocurrency issues. Faryar Shirzad, Chief Policy Officer of Coinbase, pointed out that Washington urgently needs to clarify the issue of cryptocurrency. The exchange has made four suggestions to the SEC, one of which aims to clarify that "digital assets that do not represent any corporate rights are not securities" but should be "digital commodities." Coinbase also asked the SEC to recognize that Congress should define "appropriate regulatory treatment of digital assets in the presence of ambiguity." However, the exchange stated in the document that stablecoins should be excluded from the jurisdiction of the SEC while Congress is formulating legislation. Coinbase's other two major suggestions include asking the SEC to clarify that "secondary market transactions in digital commodities are not securities transactions" and focusing on allowing stakeholders to tokenize traditional securities (such as tokenized debt).
