Hyperliquid urges SEC to clarify crypto airdrop and buyback rules for legal certainty

The Hyperliquid Policy Center has urged the US SEC to adopt its proposed crypto regulation framework with five key revisions to clarify rules on token airdrops, secondary trading, buybacks, developer protections, and state securities laws. They want the SEC to confirm that token airdrops without payment are not securities transactions and to define how decentralized platforms can handle token trades. The group also seeks protections for projects still developing tokens and clearer distinctions between automated and discretionary buybacks. These changes aim to provide legal certainty, encouraging crypto projects to operate in the US rather than moving overseas. The SEC's public comment period on the framework closes October 20, with final rules expected soon.

The Hyperliquid Policy Center's call for SEC clarity on crypto airdrops and buybacks comes as a backdrop to today's cryptocurrency market activity on Pluang.
