The SEC has proposed new rules establishing a framework for crypto firms to raise capital under federal securities laws, including a conditional safe harbor from being classified as an investment contract.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Crypto & Web3, and 8 sources have reported it between 18 Aug 2026 and 19 Aug 2026.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a new regulatory gate to US crypto capital, but this safe harbour opens a limited window to operate without investment contract risk. Act fast to adjust fundraising and compliance strategies before the rules finalize.
