Hyperliquid's Policy Center has formally criticized the SEC's new crypto asset regulation draft, highlighting five major legal issues that could trap Web3 developers. The demands include clarifying that free token airdrops are not securities, allowing projects to declare their tokens were never securities, defining the status of decentralized exchanges, and extending federal immunity indefinitely. These changes aim to prevent startups from legal risks and enable smoother operation within the U.S. market. Hyperliquid, a leader in on-chain futures, currently blocks U.S. users due to strict laws but is pushing for reforms to support domestic innovation.
Hyperliquid's demands for critical fixes to the SEC crypto proposal provide context for readers following crypto regulation debates.
