AMA w/Tung Chan, Colorado Securities Commissioner; From Ethereum to Colorado
summary
Colorado has a statutory carve‑out (CRS 11‑51‑308.7) for utility tokens that remain in‑state, requires a notice filing with the Division, and depends on KYC/AML and geographic limits rather than tech magic; tokens intended for profit still trigger the Howey test and securities rules. Pending SEC litigation against XRP makes fact‑specific decentralization important. Taxes hit forks, airdrops and staking rewards on receipt. EIP‑1559 fee‑burning is noted but not cleared by regulators. The community needs clear, binding rules — not guidance.
