Staking directly on a protocol and staking with Kraken are different things — the latter introducing further risk, according to Hoskinson.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong is confident that staking fails all four criteria of the Howey Test and is ready to battle it out in court if necessary.

Lido Finance's Jacob Blish said if the SEC bans U.S. citizens from interacting with any staking protocols, it could hurt both investors and contributors.

Powell explained why Kraken didn't fight the SEC and expressed hope for the future.

The firm will pay a large penalty and face a permanent injunction.

Hoskinson fears the US SEC might lump all staking protocols together "due to a fundamental misunderstanding about the actual facts of operation and design."
