Securities commissions are government bodies that oversee and regulate financial markets involving investment products. These governmental agencies are tasked with supervising and regulating capital markets, specifically the issuance and trading of securities suches as stocks, bonds, and certain digital assets. Their primary objectives include protecting investors, ensuring fair and efficient market operations, and reducing systemic risk. They enforce compliance with securities laws and establish guidelines for market participants.
Context
Securities commissions globally are actively working to classify and regulate crypto assets that meet the definition of a security, leading to significant enforcement actions and policy developments. A key debate involves applying existing securities laws, which were designed for traditional assets, to the novel characteristics of digital tokens. Future regulatory clarity from these commissions will greatly influence the legal status and market access for many crypto projects.
Global regulators must urgently close compliance gaps in CDA frameworks, particularly concerning cross-border cooperation and emerging business models.
