Fusion42 · 20 August 2026 · Fusion42 review

The SEC proposed Regulation Crypto Assets, introducing exemptions to ease capital raising for crypto issuers in the US, including a startup exemption up to $5 million and a fundraising exemption up to $75 million, along with a conditional safe harbor for certain investment contracts.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 6 sources have reported it between 18 Aug 2026 and 20 Aug 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You can now plan US capital raises under new SEC exemptions tailored for crypto startups and fundraisings, making it easier to structure offerings before Congress finalises broader rules.
