SEC Chairman Paul Atkins stated that the proposed crypto 'Safe Harbor' framework has entered the White House review process and is currently being reviewed by OIRA. It is expected to be released soon. The framework includes a 'startup exemption,' allowing crypto projects to raise funds over approximately four years under the condition of fulfilling disclosure obligations. It also comes with a safe harbor for investment contracts and explanatory guidance on token classification. Additionally, the SEC is advancing an 'innovation exemption' mechanism, aiming to provide a regulatory sandbox-like arrangement for on-chain assets, though the scope remains a topic of debate within the industry.
