The U.S. SEC filed a Sunshine Act notice on August 10 scheduling an open meeting for August 14 at 10:00 a.m. ET. The single agenda item is a vote on whether to publish a proposed rule named Regulation Crypto, the agency's first formal crypto rulemaking under Chairman Paul Atkins. The roughly 400-page proposal creates a tailored offering regime for investment contracts involving crypto assets. Qualifying projects could raise capital under exemptions without automatically triggering full SEC registration. Reported illustrative figures from Atkins' speeches include up to $75 million over 12 months for one fundraising exemption and a roughly $5 million startup exemption. The move comes after the Senate failed to advance the CLARITY Act before its recess, leaving the SEC to act first through rulemaking. If approved, the proposal would open a public comment period before any final rule.
