Nasdaq Urges SEC for Clear Crypto Rules Framework

In Summary

  • Nasdaq’s 4-tier crypto blueprint pressures the SEC for clearer regulations
  • The blueprint seeks better crypto asset categorization for institutional growth
  • Nasdaq advocates for a stable and secure environment for crypto investments
  • The SEC has yet to respond to Nasdaq’s push for regulatory clarity


Catenaa, Tuesday, April 29, 2025-Nasdaq is pressuring the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for clearer regulations around cryptocurrency, unveiling a 4-tier blueprint aimed at fostering a more structured approach to the crypto market.

The initiative, announced on April 27, 2025, reflects Nasdaq’s effort to bridge the gap between digital assets and traditional finance by advocating for more transparency and clearer rules.

The proposal, which outlines Nasdaq’s vision for crypto asset categorization, aims to streamline the regulation of various crypto products.

It seeks to encourage institutional participation while addressing ongoing concerns about the security and legitimacy of digital assets.
Nasdaq also wants SEC treat some digital assets as “traditional Assets.”

By pushing for clearer guidance from the SEC, Nasdaq aims to provide a more stable environment for crypto investors and firms.

The SEC has long been criticized for its delayed response to crypto regulation, with market participants calling for more comprehensive and predictable rules. Nasdaq’s plan signals its readiness to lead the charge in establishing industry standards, though it depends on SEC action for full implementation.
