SEC Reg Crypto Assets: What We Recommended and What’s at Stake

​On August 18, the SEC proposed Regulation Crypto Assets, its first dedicated rulebook for crypto asset offerings. The proposal includes new exemptions for startup and fundraising offerings and a conditional safe harbor for when a token is no longer an investment contract. The comment period has closed, and the industry’s feedback is now on the record.
