Fusion42 · 18 September 2026 · Fusion42 review

The SEC is proposing a reinterpretation of the 1946 Howey test to clarify when crypto assets qualify as securities, aiming to integrate digital assets into the existing regulatory framework while raising new questions about fungible asset trading.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 3 sources have reported it between 8 Sep 2026 and 17 Sep 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must align your crypto asset offerings with the SEC's evolving Howey test or risk legal exclusion from US markets. This reinterpretation opens a pathway but puts fungible asset traders under fresh regulatory scrutiny.
