SEC Reg Crypto Proposal Starts 60-Day Federal Register Comment Clock

The SEC’s proposed “Regulation Crypto Assets” framework has been published in the Federal Register, starting a 60-day public comment period for one of the most closely watched crypto rulemaking efforts in the United States.

The proposal, listed as File No. S7-2026-27, was published on August 21. Comments are due by October 20. The framework would create possible exemptions for covered digital asset investment contracts, including a one-time startup exemption of up to $5 million and a 12-month fundraising exemption of up to $75 million.
