US securities regulator cancels meeting to vote on crypto rules
The proposal would create three token-offering pathways and a safe harbor for decentralized projects as Congress’s parallel crypto bill stalls.
- The Securities and Exchange Commission abruptly canceled its Friday meeting scheduled to vote on the roughly 400-page Regulation Crypto framework. An agency spokesperson attributed the postponement to an unforeseen scheduling issue.
- This proposed rule sought to replace six years of enforcement-based oversight with three tailored pathways: a startup exemption, a fundraising exemption, and a Token Safe Harbor allowing decentralized assets to exit securities classification entirely.
- Commissioner Hester Peirce's November departure narrows the window for rulemaking, as her exit reduces the three-member commission to two and removes the agency's most experienced pro-crypto voice. Peirce heads the SEC's Crypto Task Force and authored the intellectual foundation for the safe harbor framework.
- Meanwhile, the CLARITY Act, Congress's parallel legislative effort, stalled in the Senate before the August recess. Senate Majority Leader John Thune scheduled a procedural vote for September 15, but the bill requires 60 votes with uncertain Democratic support.
- Without formal rules or congressional legislation, crypto firms remain in legal gray zones, forced to operate under enforcement threat. The SEC's rescheduling timeline remains unclear, leaving the industry waiting for regulatory clarity that either agency or Congress must provide.
