Aave Labs has submitted a legal framework for DeFi lending protocols and vaults to the SEC's crypto task force. The submission outlines regulatory approaches for these categories of decentralized finance infrastructure.
The move represents an effort to establish clarity around how lending protocols and vault systems might operate within existing or proposed regulatory frameworks.
