The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 17 formally proposed Regulation E-Delivery, a rulemaking that would significantly broaden the ability of issuers, broker-dealers, and investment advisers to use electronic methods to deliver required information under federal securities laws. The proposal is designed to make electronic delivery a more mainstream and flexible option in place of traditional paper-based delivery.
SEC Chair Paul Atkins framed the move as part of a wider modernization push at the agency. He said the proposal marks another step toward building a regulatory framework suited to the modern era and described it as one of the key pillars of his agenda since taking office. In Atkins’ words, "in the age of artificial intelligence and blockchain technology, default paper delivery should become a historical relic, not the standard."
The proposal also fits with Atkins’ broader regulatory modernization effort. He had previously launched “Project Crypto” to modernize on-chain markets, and the new e-delivery rule follows the same policy direction. The SEC’s proposal will now move into a public comment process.
