- The U.S. SEC said it has submitted a proposed ‘safe harbor‘ framework—allowing the initial launch of virtual-asset projects—to a White House regulatory review body for final review.
- The proposal reportedly includes a ‘startup exemption‘ that would allow fundraising without registration if certain requirements are met, as well as about four years of capital-raising and disclosure obligations to protect investors.
- The SEC is also reviewing an ‘investment contract safe harbor’ based on ‘token classification standards‘ and an ‘innovation exemption‘ for on-chain assets, while market participants remain split between investor-protection concerns and calls for regulatory easing.
