The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is considering a new capital-raising rule that allows companies to raise funds using crypto assets with flexible, principles-based financial disclosures and no investment caps for non-accredited investors, differing from existing regulations. The proposal includes a safe harbor provision and is open for public comment until October 20, with critics warning about risks to unsophisticated investors and the adequacy of safeguards.
