The SEC proposes a $75 million fundraising exemption for crypto-asset offerings with purchaser limits and federal preemption of state laws, while the Senate's pending CLARITY Act offers a separate statutory exemption with different caps, qualifying assets, and resale conditions for ancillary assets under investment contracts.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 6 sources have reported it between 18 Aug 2026 and 31 Aug 2026.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
