On August 19, a Fox Business crypto reporter posted on the X platform that, according to an SEC spokesperson, the committee approved the proposal through 'seriatim' voting, meaning that commissioners voted separately outside of a public meeting. The committee had originally scheduled to review the 'Regulation Crypto Assets' in a public meeting last Friday but abruptly canceled it citing 'unforeseen scheduling issues.' According to the disclosed details, the framework will allow certain crypto asset issuances to raise funds without SEC registration, including small-scale issuances of up to $5 million over four years or an annual issuance limit of up to $75 million. The proposal will also establish a conditional safe harbor mechanism for certain crypto assets. Once the 'core management efforts' of the issuer are completed, the relevant crypto assets may no longer be subject to the same securities regulatory constraints.
