This is the third category of crypto tokens that the SEC has cleared as non-securities. In March, the regulator greenlighted proof-of-work (PoW) or mining systems like Bitcoin [BTC] and Dogecoin [DOGE] as non-security. 

Similarly, in May, the SEC said proof-of-stake (PoS) chains like Ethereum[ETH], Solana [SOL] and liquid staking tokens like JitoSOL are non-security.
