In the United States, the Securities and Exchange Commission is the federal agency responsible for enforcing securities laws and regulating securities markets. Its approach to crypto has been closely watched by token issuers, trading platforms, investors and other businesses that may face questions over whether particular digital assets or transactions fall within securities regulation.
A proposed rule is not a final rule. Federal rulemaking generally involves publication of a proposal, an opportunity for public comment and further agency consideration before any final requirements take effect. The regulator’s crypto proposal could therefore become an important focus for industry participants, legal advisers and policymakers as the rulemaking process develops.
