SEC Proposes Crypto Asset Regulation: Exemptions for Token Issuance Up to $75M

TREE NEWS update: The SEC has proposed a new regulation, ‘Regulation Crypto Assets,’ providing two registration exemptions for crypto issuers: a startup exemption for up to $5M raised over four years, and a fundraising exemption for up to $75M per 12-month period, along with a safe harbor for tokens to lose security status. This move comes as the CLARITY Act stalls in Congress, marking a significant step by the SEC to provide a tailored framework for crypto asset issuance.
