The US SEC’s proposed crypto safe harbor framework, Reg Crypto, has entered the White House review stage. Announced by SEC Chair Paul Atkins at the Digital Assets and Emerging Technology Policy Summit, the plan includes startup and fundraising exemptions with structured reporting.
The proposal aligns with Section 103 of the Senate’s CLARITY Act, enabling crypto ventures to raise capital while moving toward decentralization under defined disclosures.
Atkins emphasized the need for statutory support to ensure long-term regulatory clarity. Meanwhile, the SEC and CFTC have agreed to a Memorandum of Understanding to streamline oversight and reduce regulatory duplication.
This effort marks a significant step toward modernizing U.S. financial regulation for digital assets.
