U.S. SEC to revise crypto fundraising rules, proposes registration exemptions and safe harbor

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has proposed a new set of rules for crypto-related fundraising called Regulation Cryptoasset. The proposal would create exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 for certain investment contracts and includes a safe-harbor provision to prevent some crypto assets from being classified as securities. It sets two fundraising exemptions, adds disclosure and reporting requirements, and would make federal rules take precedence over state laws for issuance and some secondary trades.
