Staff said the US regulator would "not object" to broker-dealers counting stablecoin holdings toward their net capital requirements.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) staff last week clarified that broker-dealers can apply a 2% “haircut” — a regulatory discount applied to assets when calculating net capital — to their stablecoin holdings without objection from the agency.
Previously, broker-dealers were uncertain whether to apply a 100% haircut to their dollar-pegged stablecoins, meaning that they did not count the tokens toward their net capital under existing regulations.
The clarification came in the form of a posting by the staff of the SEC’s Division of Trading and Markets as a “Frequently Asked Questions Relating to Crypto Asset Activities and Distributed Ledger Technology.”
