Critical Announcement from the SEC Regarding the Cryptocurrencies – Here Are the Affected Altcoins

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has reassured miners concerned about regulatory oversight by clarifying that proof-of-work (PoW) cryptocurrency mining does not violate federal securities laws.

The SEC’s Division of Corporate Finance said in a statement that mining operators are not required to register their transactions with the regulator.

The SEC’s finding suggests that both solo and pooled PoW mining do not meet the criteria for a securities transaction under the Howey Test. This legal framework evaluates whether a transaction constitutes an investment contract by determining whether there is a reasonable expectation of profit based on the efforts of others. According to the SEC, PoW mining lacks this component and is therefore exempt from securities regulation.

The largest cryptocurrencies that use the Proof of Work mechanism can be listed as follows:

  • Bitcoin (BTC)
  • Dogecoin (DOGE)
  • Litecoin (LTC)
  • Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
  • Monero (XMR)
  • Ethereum Classic (ETC)
  • Kaspa (KAS)
  • Bitcoin SV (BSV)
  • Zcash (ZEC)
  • Beldex (BDX)
  • Conflux (CFX)
  • eCash (XEC)
  • Verus (VRSC)
  • Dash (DASH)

The announcement eases concerns that the SEC’s enforcement division could target PoW crypto miners. Under former Chairman Gary Gensler, the agency has maintained that Bitcoin is a commodity rather than a security, but has pursued enforcement actions in cases involving allegations of fraudulent mining schemes, such as Utah-based Green United. This has led to industry fears that legitimate PoW mining operations could face regulatory scrutiny.
