Grayscale Names 3 Crypto Tokens That Could Gain From New SEC Rules

Grayscale Identifies Three Potential Beneficiaries

Public blockchain activity could expand under proposed U.S. fundraising rules, Grayscale Head of Research Zach Pandl wrote in an Aug. 19 analysis identifying Ethereum, Solana and $BNB Chain as potential beneficiaries. The Grayscale assessment of Regulation Crypto Assets connects the proposal with a broader investor focus on blockchains supporting token issuance, stablecoins, and decentralized finance.

“The SEC has proposed Reg Crypto, a set of rules that would facilitate token-based fundraising,” Pandl stated, summarizing the proposal’s potential implications for public blockchain networks. He added:

“This blockchain use case has been hindered by regulatory ambiguity, but the new guidelines could help unlock and drive value to the underlying networks, such as Ethereum, Solana, and $BNB Chain.”

The analysis covers both the networks and their native tokens, while presenting any potential gains as conditional rather than certain. Smart contract platforms such as Ethereum provide infrastructure for digital assets and decentralized applications, extending cryptocurrency beyond payments and stores of value.
