🚨 The SEC suddenly turns up the heat!
Two tiers of funding exemptions—$5 million and $75 million—are coming. Are crypto project financing rules about to change?
Group:
点击进入玖玖的粉丝群The SEC has recently proposed a brand-new set of “Crypto Asset Regulatory Guidelines,” and the two most noteworthy items are exemption provisions specifically for crypto project fundraising.
First, the key points:
This is only a proposal, not the final law.
On August 21, these rules were officially released and entered the public comment period. In other words, the SEC is now telling the market that in the future, it may allow certain crypto projects—if they meet specific conditions—to raise funds without going through the full, traditional securities registration process.
And what the market is paying most attention to right now are the two funding thresholds: $5 million and $75 million.💰
Simply put, if the final rules are adopted, crypto projects that meet the criteria may gain a clearer compliance path for future fundraising.
What does this mean for the industry?
One of the biggest challenges for many crypto projects in the past has been: “What exactly counts as compliant fundraising?”
If the rules can provide clear boundaries, project teams, investment institutions, and legal teams can more easily determine which fundraising methods can be used and which risks should not be touched.
Especially for the $75 million tier—if it is ultimately preserved, it could be extremely meaningful for projects that require large-scale capital support.
But please don’t interpret the “$75 million exemption” as:
“From now on, every project can freely raise $75 million.”
That’s not the case.
This is still only a rule framework proposed by the SEC at present. The specific applicable parties, conditions, limitations, and filing requirements will all depend on the final text.
And during the public comment period, the rules could be adjusted at any time.
So what is truly worth关注 right now is not that some projects can get this money immediately.
What matters is that U.S. regulators are sending an increasingly clear signal:
Crypto industry fundraising activities may be moving from a “regulatory gray zone” toward a more clearly defined rule framework.⚖️
