Major SEC Proposal: SEC Chairman Paul Atkins announced "Regulation Crypto," a proposed rule providing a permanent regulatory framework and exemptions for crypto offerings without automatically triggering standard securities demands.
Two Fundraising Tracks:
Startups: Allows offerings up to $5 million over four years with basic public filings and investor disclosures.
Larger Offerings: Allows up to $75 million per year with stricter requirements, including financial statements, ongoing reporting, and adherence to anti-fraud laws.
Investment Contract Safe Harbor: Crypto assets will no longer be considered securities once essential managerial efforts promised by the issuer are completed or permanently ended.
Public Comment Period: The SEC is opening a 60-day public comment window to review feedback before drafting the final version.
Legislative Context: While the crypto industry welcomed the proposal, Chairman Atkins emphasized that congressional legislation (such as the pending Digital Asset Market Clarity Act) remains essential for long-term legal stability.
