SEC Staff Says Token Buybacks Don't Make Crypto a Security—If the Network Works
The SEC has issued new guidance stating that announcing token buybacks on a functioning network does not automatically classify the tokens as securities. This shift, according to one attorney, means securities laws apply only if the network actually works.

AI analysisThis guidance clarifies that once a crypto network is functional, buyback programs do not constitute promises of managerial efforts required for securities classification. This could significantly reduce legal hurdles for projects looking to stabilize their token prices.
Crypto projects can now more freely announce token buyback programs without running afoul of securities laws once their networks are functional.
