SEC Prepares to Discuss Regulation Crypto Framework for Token Issuers

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is set to discuss Regulation Crypto on Friday, a proposed framework for token issuers that could allow them to raise funds without full securities registration.

This move marks the SEC's first attempt at formal rulemaking specifically tailored for crypto assets, which could significantly alter the landscape for U.S. crypto fundraising by providing regulatory clarity and a structured path for token issuances.

The proposed framework could introduce a startup exemption and a broader fundraising exemption, potentially up to $75 million in a 12-month period.
