The US SEC proposed 'Regulation Crypto Assets', introducing exemptions for crypto asset investment contracts allowing offerings up to $75 million annually exempt from registration and providing a conditional safe harbour from the securities definition for certain crypto assets.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 3 sources have reported it between 18 Aug 2026 and 19 Aug 2026.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You need to rethink your capital raise plans for US crypto ventures because the SEC is opening clear new registration-free routes for offerings up to $75 million annually. This change makes early stage crypto capital markets more accessible and slightly less risky for your fundraising.
