The SEC has proposed formal rules clarifying when crypto tokens qualify as securities and introduced two exemptions for fundraising, including a variant of Regulation A. This rulemaking aims to provide more legal certainty for issuers amid pending legislative developments like the CLARITY Act.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face clearer rules on crypto tokens classified as securities and new fundraising paths that reduce legal risks of relying on informal guidance. This opens a pathway to raise funds in the US with stronger compliance certainty and pressure to exit offshore markets.
