SEC Chair Paul Atkins: "Reg Crypto" Rulemaking at OIRA, Safe Harbors Include $5M and $75M Caps

SEC Chair Paul Atkins said on April 6, 2026 that the agency's "Reg Crypto" proposal is undergoing final review at the White House's OIRA before it is released for public comment. The framework includes three safe-harbor paths, including a startup exemption allowing raises of up to approximately $5 million and a fundraising exemption permitting up to approximately $75 million in any 12-month period. Atkins also said the SEC shut down its innovation hub after it developed a reputation that deterred industry participation.
