🚀 Paradigm and Partners Address Senate's Cryptocurrency Legislation

According to PANews, Dan Robinson, General Partner and Head of Research at Paradigm, announced on the X platform that his team, along with Multicoin Capital, Chainlink, Electric Capital, Galaxy, Ribbit Capital, and Tribe Capital, has submitted a letter to the Senate Banking Committee regarding the proposed cryptocurrency market structure legislation. The Senate's draft differs from the House-passed CLARITY Act, particularly on the regulation of token securities. Paradigm believes the Senate's 'ancillary asset' approach is more favorable for the crypto industry. Both legislative proposals are seen as improvements over the Howey Test system, which is considered difficult to apply and potentially counterproductive. The Senate's draft is noted for its simplicity, avoiding the imposition of rigid frameworks on decentralized tokens and protocols. It includes exclusion clauses to prevent misuse, specifying that assets with certain financial rights are not considered ancillary assets.#Paradigm #Cryptocurrency #Senate #Legislation #TokenSecurities #CLARITYAct #AncillaryAssets #CryptoIndustry #HoweyTest #DecentralizedTokens #FinancialRights

According to Foresight News, South Korea is moving forward with the institutionalization of token securities issuance (STO) through amendments to the Electronic Securities Act and the Capital Markets Act. These amendments have been approved by the National Assembly's Political Affairs Committee Bill Review Subcommittee, laying the groundwork for the STO circulation market to open in the first half of next year.
The amendments aim to officially incorporate blockchain distributed ledger technology into the electronic registration system, allowing issuers to register and manage token securities based on distributed ledger technology as electronic securities. Additionally, the amendments will bring small-scale over-the-counter trading platforms for investment contract securities and non-monetary trust income securities under regulation, providing a basis for the legal operation of fragmented investment exchanges.
If the bill is passed in the National Assembly's plenary session next month, the tokenization and circulation of various physical assets, including real estate, artwork, and music copyrights, will be able to proceed within a regulatory framework.#SouthKorea #TokenSecurities #STO #Blockchain #ElectronicSecurities #CapitalMarkets #LegislativeAmendments #DistributedLedgerTechnology #InvestmentPlatforms #Regulation #RealEstate #Art #MusicCopyright

South Korea's Financial Services Commission (FSC) chairman, Lee Eog-weon, announced that token securities are set to become a core component of capital markets rather than a temporary trend.
