The US SEC proposed two registration exemptions for crypto investment contracts under its new Reg Crypto framework, allowing issuers to raise up to $75 million annually or $5 million over four years, with associated disclosure and reporting requirements. The proposal includes a conditional safe harbor altering the treatment of tokens as securities and seeks to preempt certain state registration rules.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
The SEC's new crypto exemptions open the $75 million capital raise channel but demand strong disclosures and ongoing reports, so you must upgrade compliance now or lose access to large US investors. This reshapes fundraising strategy and market entry for token issuers targeting the US.
