The SEC proposed 'Regulation Crypto Assets' introducing a new tailored regulatory framework with two new registration exemptions, principles-based disclosures, and a safe harbor for non-security crypto asset investment contracts. The rules aim to address challenges in applying traditional securities laws to crypto assets and include preemption of state registration for covered investment contracts.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a new US crypto regulation with exemptions easing fundraises under $75 million but more disclosure duties. This opens the US market if you update your offerings but blocks older risky models.
