Nasdaq proposed to the SEC to establish a four-category regulatory system for digital assets.

According to Gate.io News bot, CoinDesk reported that Nasdaq submitted a proposal to the SEC for the implementation of a classification regulatory framework for digital assets. The proposal categorizes digital assets into four categories: financial securities, investment contracts, commodities, and other assets.

Nasdaq emphasized in the letter that regulatory responsibilities should be assumed by the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) based on the nature of the assets. At the same time, Nasdaq suggested developing unified trading platform rules that allow different categories of assets to be traded on the same platform.
