The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has proposed a new regulatory framework for certain crypto assets and investment contracts, marking a significant shift in how the agency wants to regulate the digital asset industry.

The proposal, called “Regulation Crypto Assets”, aims to create a tailored securities offering regime for certain investment contracts involving crypto assets.

The SEC said the framework is designed to provide clearer routes for crypto companies to raise capital while retaining investor protections under US securities laws.

What has the SEC proposed?

The proposal includes two exemptions from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933.

The first would provide a one-time exemption for offerings of up to $5 million over a four-year period.

The second would allow offerings of up to $75 million in any 12-month period.

These exemptions would not mean that issuers can raise money without providing information to investors.

Under both routes, issuers would have to provide certain principles-based narrative disclosures to investors. Companies using the larger $75 million exemption would also have to provide financial statements and comply with ongoing reporting requirements.
