The US Securities and Exchange Commission proposed Regulation Crypto Assets, introducing two new exemptions for crypto capital raises up to $5 million and $75 million, plus a safe harbor for tokens that stop qualifying as securities. This framework aims to delineate clear fundraising paths and reduce offshore token sale structures by bringing crypto offerings within clearer US regulatory jurisdiction.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 6 sources have reported it between 18 Aug 2026 and 20 Aug 2026.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You need to rethink your US crypto fundraising approach now that two clear exempt pathways exist for smaller and moderate raises. Offshore token sales lose their appeal as the SEC pulls offerings back inside US rules with a safe exit path when tokens cease being securities.
