  • Douro Labs requests SEC guidance clarifying that securities laws do not preclude the use of pricing data from decentralized oracle networks for asset valuation, provided the networks meet quality, transparency, and resiliency standards.
  • The letter emphasizes that decentralized oracle networks can enhance competition, efficiency, and investor protection in the financial data market by providing comprehensive, trustworthy, and affordable pricing data.
  • Douro Labs suggests that the SEC issue interdivisional FAQs to define decentralized oracle networks, outline their threshold attributes, and confirm their permissible use for regulatory calculations under existing securities laws.
