 <p>The Proof of Stake Alliance (POSA), a non-profit organization that represents firms in the crypto <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="staking" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/staking.html">staking</a> industry, published an updated version of its “<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="staking" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/staking.html">staking</a> principles” on Nov. 9. The new principles are supported by Ava Labs, Alluvial, Coinbase, Lido Protocol, Paradigm, and ten other <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="staking" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/staking.html">staking</a> industry firms.</p>

 <p>POSA represents 15 different firms in the staking industry, including Alluvial, Ava Labs, Blockdaemon, Coinbase, Credibly Neutral, Figment, Infstones, Kiln, Lido Protocol, Luganodes, Methodic, Obol, Polychain, Paradigm, and Staking Rewards.</p>
 <p>The <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="staking" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/staking.html">staking</a> principles were first published in 2020. According to the blog post that announced them, the POSA <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="staking" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/staking.html">staking</a> principles are meant to be “a set of industry-driven solutions” that <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="provide" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/provide.html">provide</a>rs can implement to address the concerns of regulators and to encourage responsible practices in the industry.</p>
 <p>The old version of the staking principles says staking providers should not give investment advice, guarantee the amount of staking rewards that can be obtained, or imply that they have control over a protocol in their marketing materials. Instead, they should advertise that their products provide access to a protocol and allow users to enhance security. In addition, the principles state that staking providers should use non-financial terminology such as “staking reward” in their marketing materials instead of financial terms like “interest.”</p>
 <p>The Nov. 9 announcement says three new principles will be added. First, staking providers will be encouraged to provide “Clear communication […] To ensure users have all the information necessary to make informed decisions.” Second, users should be able to decide how much of their assets they want to stake, as this will promote “user ownership of staked assets." Third, staking providers should have “explicitly delineated responsibilities” and “should not manage or control liquidity for users.”</p>
 <p>The crypto <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="staking" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/staking.html">staking</a> industry has been criticized by some regulators, who claim it's a cover for issuing unregistered securities. Kraken’s <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="staking" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/staking.html">staking</a> service was shut down by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Feb. 9; the exchange was ordered to pay $30 million in damages for allegedly violating securities laws. However, other <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="staking" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/staking.html">staking</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="provide" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/provide.html">provide</a>rs have claimed that their <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="staking" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/staking.html">staking</a> services are not securities. For example, POSA member Coinbase argued that its service is “fundamentally different” from Kraken’s and does not violate securities laws.</p>
