SEC Clears Path for 2Z Token With Landmark No-Action Letter
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) continues to clarify its approach to digital assets, providing selective assurances that could shape how token projects structure their offerings. After months of engagement, Doublezero has received a first-of-its-kind no-action letter concerning its 2Z token, marking a notable development for the industry.
The SEC Division of Corporation Finance confirmed in a Sept. 29 letter that it would not pursue enforcement under Section 5 of the Securities Act or require registration under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act if Doublezero’s 2Z token is distributed according to the conditions set out by counsel. The agency stated: “Based on the facts presented, the Division will not recommend enforcement action to the Commission if, in reliance on your opinion as counsel, Programmatic Transfers that are conducted in the manner and under the circumstances described in your letter are not registered under Section 5 of the Securities Act and 2Z is not registered as a class of equity securities under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.”
Doublezero Foundation welcomed the decision in a series of posts on social media platform X, writing:
The first-of-its-kind no-action letter gives us confidence that 2Z does not have to register as a class of ‘equity securities’ and that programmatic flows of 2Z on the Doublezero network are not securities transactions.
“This represents four months of constructive engagement with the SEC to establish a clear framework for compliant token launches in America, and a landmark moment for the crypto industry,” the statement adds.
“For the Doublezero project and its stakeholders, this letter means that the SEC will not recommend an enforcement action surrounding 2Z token flows within the Doublezero network,” Doublezero Foundation further affirmed, emphasizing that contributors and users can now engage with the network with confidence, while the 2Z token continues to power value transfers, incentives, and security tied directly to contributor activity. In a follow-up post, it stressed:
Crypto innovation in America is back. Today’s SEC no-action letter is a monumental milestone, not just for Doublezero, but for the entire crypto industry.
