The SEC proposed new permanent digital-asset rules including exemptions for token sales under certain thresholds, stepping in as Congress delays the Clarity Act. The rules aim to bring regulatory clarity to crypto, potentially paving the way for more institutional investment despite the lack of formal legislation.
