TD Cowen Says Aug. 14 SEC Meeting Could Be a Turning Point for Crypto Regulation

TD Cowen said a public meeting the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has scheduled for Aug. 14 could mark a major turning point for cryptocurrency regulation.

The investment bank said, citing a report by The Block on Aug. 11, that the SEC may establish a separate regulatory framework for crypto projects to issue and sell tokens legally. It added that a safe-harbor regime could be introduced first, temporarily exempting early-stage token sales from securities registration requirements.
