SEC Sets Aug. 14 Meeting on Crypto Offering Rules
The proposal would create a tailored path for certain token sales and could replace years of enforcement-led guidance, officials said.
- The SEC will hold an open meeting Friday to consider proposing "Reg Crypto," a new framework establishing tailored offering rules for certain crypto investment contracts.
- SEC Chair Paul Atkins has advocated for this framework to replace the agency's enforcement-heavy approach by developing exemptions and safe harbors for token offerings.
- While Atkins previously discussed illustrative concepts like a $75 million fundraising exemption over 12 months, Friday's agenda does not disclose the full rule text or final thresholds.
- A successful vote would initiate a public comment period rather than immediately change registration obligations; the SEC must publish the proposed rule and collect feedback before adopting a final version.
- This rulemaking remains separate from legislative efforts like the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, which faces a Senate cloture test on Sept. 15, as agency rules cannot redraw the SEC-CFTC statutory division of authority.
