Summary

The SEC's Division of Corporation Finance issued a no-action letter to DoubleZero regarding Programmatic Transfers. The Division will not recommend enforcement action if these transfers are conducted as described, meaning they will not require registration under the Securities Act or Exchange Act.

What changed

The Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Division of Corporation Finance has issued a no-action letter to DoubleZero, dated September 29, 2025. This letter states that the Division will not recommend enforcement action if Programmatic Transfers, as described in DoubleZero's incoming letter, are conducted without registration under Section 5 of the Securities Act and without 2Z being registered as a class of equity securities under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. This position is contingent on the specific facts and circumstances presented and does not constitute a legal conclusion.

This guidance provides clarity for entities considering similar programmatic transfer structures. While non-binding, it indicates the SEC staff's current enforcement stance. Companies contemplating such transfers should carefully review the conditions outlined in the no-action letter and ensure their operations strictly adhere to the described facts and circumstances to rely on this position. No specific compliance deadline is mentioned, as this is an interpretive letter based on a specific request.

What to do next

  1. Review the SEC's no-action letter regarding DoubleZero and Programmatic Transfers.
  2. Ensure any similar programmatic transfer activities strictly adhere to the facts and circumstances described in the DoubleZero letter.
  3. Consult legal counsel to confirm compliance with securities registration requirements for any planned programmatic transfers.

Re: DoubleZero
Incoming letter dated September 25, 2025

Based on the facts presented, the Division will not recommend enforcement action to the Commission if, in reliance on your opinion as counsel, Programmatic Transfers that are conducted in the manner and under the circumstances described in your letter are not registered under Section 5 of the Securities Act and 2Z is not registered as a class of equity securities under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. Capitalized terms have the same meanings as defined in your letter.

This position is based on the representations made to the Division in your letter. Any different facts or conditions might require the Division to reach a different conclusion. Further, this response expresses the Division’s position on enforcement action only and does not express any legal conclusion on the issues presented.

Sincerely,

Michael P. Seaman
