SEC proposes crypto fundraising exemptions in abrupt about-face

The proposal would also lay out a path for tokens to be treated differently from traditional investment contracts, reducing the need for full securities registration.

Reported · Written up by our desk · Regulation

The SEC has proposed new rules that would change how crypto projects can raise capital through token sales, according to Decrypt.

Under the proposal, crypto fundraising could be conducted without undergoing the full securities registration process, and the framework would also create a path for tokens to separate from investment contract analysis.

Decrypt characterizes the proposal as an abrupt about-face, aimed at offering a clearer regulatory route for token issuers.

The SEC proposal centers on exemptions for crypto fundraising and an altered approach to how tokens may be viewed relative to securities requirements.
