The SEC proposed Regulation Crypto Assets, introducing a new registration-exempt framework specifically for crypto investment contracts, including two safe harbor exemptions and preemption of state blue sky laws. This is the SEC's first purpose-built offering regime for crypto assets, aiming to replace inconsistent Howey test application with a clear, tailored regime requiring disclosures and allowing certain exemptions with no accredited investor limits and permit general solicitation.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 2 sources have reported it between 19 Aug 2026 and 5 Sep 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

The SEC has opened the US crypto market with a clear, startup-friendly exemption that removes traditional investor limits and allows free trading. If you issue crypto tokens in the US, file the new forms and polish your public disclosures now.
