New submissions were added to the US Securities and Exchange Commission Crypto Task Force input page on Tuesday.
The filings focus on protecting self-custody rights and clarifying regulation for decentralised finance and tokenised markets.
One submission from DK Willard highlights Louisiana law affirming residents’ right to self-custody digital assets.
The filing argues federal market structure legislation should maintain strong registration, transparency, and anti-fraud standards.
It warns that broad exemptions could weaken investor protections and increase risks of financial crime.
A separate submission from the Blockchain Association Trading Firm Working Group addresses dealer rules for tokenised equities.
The group urged the SEC to clarify that firms trading only for their own account should not automatically be treated as registered dealers.
It said existing broker-dealer rules were built for traditional markets and may not fit smart-contract settlement models.
The submissions arrive as negotiations continue over the CLARITY crypto market structure bill in Congress.
White House crypto adviser Patrick Witt has urged industry participants to accept compromises to advance the legislation.
Speaking from Davos, Coinbase chief executive Brian Armstrong welcomed progress on the bill.
“We’re all working together to find a win-win scenario for everyone, especially the American people,”
Brian Armstrong said.
