PANews, October 20: According to Cointelegraph, the U.S. SEC will conclude its public comment period on the "Regulation Crypto Assets" rule proposal on Tuesday. The proposal, introduced in August, received approximately 140 comments during its 60-day comment period, six of which were submitted anonymously. The comments primarily addressed two aspects: first, a safe harbor provision that would exempt token issuers from being classified as "investment contracts"; and second, exemptions for issuances below a certain threshold. The MiCA Crypto Alliance generally supports modifications to the disclosure requirements and recommends that the SEC further define concepts and data structures specific to crypto assets. Anthony Scaramucci, founder of SkyBridge Capital, expressed support for these rules.
