2. Solana Policy Institute Urges SEC to Exempt DeFi Developers from Exchange Rules
According to Jinse Finance, the Solana Policy Institute, a non-profit organization focused on blockchain policy, has urged the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to differentiate between centralized cryptocurrency exchanges and non-custodial decentralized finance (DeFi) software, arguing that developers should not be regulated as intermediaries. A letter dated Friday urged the SEC to protect developers of DeFi applications, acknowledging that developing and releasing non-custodial code is not the same as intermediary or control of underlying funds. The letter argues that regulating developers of non-custodial protocols under Section 3b-16 of the Securities Exchange Act is inappropriate, as this provision applies to exchange operators who custody assets, control trading processes, and act as intermediaries.
The institute is calling on the SEC to issue guidance to differentiate between non-custodial software tools and transactions with brokers.
3. Uniswap Founder Strongly Criticizes Celebrities and Politicians for Using Blockchain for Fraud
According to Jinse Finance, Uniswap founder Hayden Adams commented on the NYC token incident involving former New York City Mayor Eric Adams, strongly criticizing celebrities and politicians for using blockchain for fraud. Adams pointed out that celebrities can legally profit from blockchain technology, such as issuing tokens while maintaining liquidity, providing real value to token holders, and maintaining project transparency.
He emphasized that blockchain is an "unprecedentedly powerful tool for collaboration, monetization, and value distribution," used by millions worldwide, yet celebrities often use it for short-sighted fraud. Adams believes that by honestly operating blockchain projects, celebrities can not only gain more revenue but also protect their reputation and avoid legal action.

US bipartisan lawmakers jointly submit "Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act," pushing for regulatory exemptions for DeFi software developers. According to Jinse Finance, Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis and Democratic Senator Ron Wyden jointly submitted the "Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act" on January 12th, aiming to clarify that blockchain software developers who do not hold user assets should not be considered "money transmitters" for regulation. This provision, originally part of a broader crypto market structure bill, is now presented as a separate bill to emphasize its bipartisan consensus.
Meanwhile, a Senate draft bill covering comprehensive regulation of the crypto market is expected to be released on the evening of January 13th and will enter committee consideration this Thursday.
Currently, the two parties still disagree on several issues, including regulation of illicit finance, details of DeFi provisions, and stablecoin yield mechanisms, and the bill's ultimate success remains uncertain.
