The SEC will vote on August 14 to propose 'Regulation Crypto,' a formal rulemaking to allow certain crypto projects to raise capital through token sales without full securities registration, marking a shift from guidance to permanent rules. The agency is also preparing an 'innovation exemption' to enable 24/7 trading of tokenized securities on blockchain.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 17 sources have reported it between 3 Aug 2026 and 22 Aug 2026.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Federal crypto regulation is no longer tied to Congressional delays. You need to engage now with SEC rulemaking as it shapes permanent capital-raising paths and token trading on blockchain.
