The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) published the Regulation Crypto Assets proposal in the Federal Register today. This rulemaking establishes a comprehensive framework for digital assets currently governed by general securities laws.
The SEC opened a 60-day public comment period for the new regulations. These rules impact crypto exchanges, token issuers, and financial institutions providing digital asset services.
The proposal responds to rapid market growth and industry demands for regulatory clarity. This action remains separate from ongoing Washington discussions regarding the CLARITY Act.
