The Securities and Exchange Commission has sent a new proposal to the White House concerning rules for investment advisers holding digital assets for their clients.

It's the latest sign of financial regulators moving forward with the Trump administration's crypto agenda while legislation to delineate crypto market structure regulation lingers in the Senate.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) proposed new exemptions for certain digital-asset offerings as it advances a crypto regulatory framework following stalled congressional legislation. The plan would exempt offerings of up to $5 million from securities registration for four years, while offerings up to $75 million could receive a 12-month exemption with financial-statement and ongoing reporting requirements. The proposal also includes a safe harbor that could allow some digital assets to fall outside the securities definition once issuers complete their promised managerial efforts, potentially placing them under the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins stressed that legislation remains necessary to establish durable, future-proof rules. The proposal comes as negotiations over the Clarity Act remain stalled in Congress, with lawmakers divided over market structure and ethics provisions.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has sent the White House a proposal to overhaul rules governing how investment advisors and investment companies custody cryptocurrency for clients. Submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on Aug. 25, the proposal would clarify the regulatory framework for holding digital assets and remove some custody requirements the agency considers outdated because of changes in crypto markets and trading practices. The move reflects SEC Chair Paul Atkins' effort to modernize rules and advance the Trump administration's crypto-friendly regulatory agenda while broader cryptocurrency legislation remains stalled in the Senate. Details will remain confidential until OMB completes its review. The SEC would then vote on releasing the proposal, followed by a public-comment period of at least 60 days before potential final adoption.
