SEC proposes new rules allowing crypto token sales to US investors with clear exit from securities status

The US SEC proposed 'Regulation Crypto Assets' to legally permit crypto projects to sell tokens directly to US investors and establish a formal exit from securities classification. The rules include two exemptions for token sales with disclosure requirements and financial reporting for larger raises, replacing years of litigation like the Ripple XRP case. A safe harbor provision allows tokens to exit securities status once promised managerial work ends, providing clarity for issuers. Public comments are open for 60 days, with attention on how this will affect token sales and US market structure legislation.
