CERES Coin Whitepaper: Updated September 2025

Oct. 8, 2025
  • The GENIUS Act (signed July 18, 2025) provides a statutory definition of "payment stablecoins" and explicitly excludes securities issued by SEC-registered investment companies under Section 8(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, allowing CERES Coin to operate as a compliant security and not as a payment stablecoin.
  • CERES Coin is SEC-registered and patent-protected, enabling unrestricted peer-to-peer transfers and yield generation, while remaining outside the scope of securities laws applicable to non-yield-bearing, 1:1 USD-backed stablecoins, as clarified by the SEC’s April 4, 2025 Statement on Stablecoins.
  • CERES Coin’s structure and SDVOSB certification (Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business) enhance eligibility for federal and state set-aside contracts, aligning with government-focused missions and compliance with federal procurement regulations.
