Digital-asset market-structure principles includes a new Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) exemption for digital‑asset fundraising and instructs the SEC to revisit burdensome registration requirements and provide a clear, tailored compliance pathway for issuers

Quotes that support claims

Regulations should be modernized to account for the unique nature of digital assets and distributed ledger technology. A new SEC exemption for certain digital asset fundraising should be included in legislation. The SEC should revisit its burdensome registration requirements for digital asset issuers, and instead provide a clear, appropriately tailored pathway to compliance for good faith, innovative actors.

Furthermore, the plan allocates jurisdiction to existing regulators instead of creating a single crypto agency while updating registration paths so compliant issuers can raise capital under an exemption tailored to distributed-ledger projects.
