The SEC has proposed new crypto fundraising rules allowing companies to raise up to $75 million annually under a clearer exemption framework, and the White House hosted a key meeting with crypto executives and regulators to align policy amid stalled Congress action. The CFTC also plans a public meeting on crypto, prediction markets, and AI, advancing regulation independently.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Crypto & Web3, and 2 sources have reported it between 19 Aug 2026 and 20 Aug 2026.

◆ The Wire takeaway

US crypto fundraising rules now allow you to raise $75 million per year under a new SEC exemption, making mass capital raises simpler but tightening regulatory scrutiny. You should revise your capital strategy and prepare for tougher compliance as regulators sidestep Congress and push distinct crypto frameworks.
