What is SEC's Reg Crypto?

Reg Crypto's a proposed exemption under the '33 Act for token fundraising, with caps like $5M for startups or $75M rolling, plus disclosures — tailored for crypto without full registration.

When will the Innovation Exemption launch?

Atkins says "soon" — proposals in coming weeks for comment. Full rollout likely 2026, mirroring past SEC timelines.

Does Reg Crypto mean all tokens are safe from SEC?

No, but safe harbors kick in post-managerial efforts, and exemptions cover early raises. Still Howey risks if you promise gains.
