The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission released a proposed rule for crypto assets on Aug. 18 under the title Regulation Crypto Assets, according to Techub News. The proposal sets out two registration exemptions and an investment contract safe harbor. One exemption would let startups raise up to $5 million in aggregate over four years. A separate financing exemption would come in two tiers, at $20 million and $75 million. The draft stems from the Project Crypto modernization initiative launched in July 2025 and follows the crypto asset classification framework issued in March 2026. Beyond the two exemptions, the proposal also includes a safe harbor for the termination of an investment contract and a provision excluding the application of state securities laws. The stated aim in the draft is to create a clearer federal compliance path for crypto projects. The item was attributed to NADA NEWS in the Techub summary.
On Aug. 18, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission put out a proposed crypto asset rule called Regulation Crypto Assets, Techub News reported. The draft sets out two registration exemptions, plus a safe harbor for investment contracts.
Here’s the core of it. A startup exemption would let firms raise as much as $5 million in total over four years. Then there’s a separate financing exemption, split into two tiers: $20 million and $75 million.
The draft goes back to the Project Crypto modernization initiative launched in July 2025. And it comes after the crypto asset classification guidance released in March 2026. Beyond the two exemptions, the proposal adds a safe harbor for ending an investment contract and a provision that keeps state securities laws from applying. The point is pretty direct: give crypto projects a clearer federal compliance path.
