Odaily News: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) abruptly canceled a meeting originally scheduled for last Friday. The meeting was intended to advance crypto regulatory rulemaking and unveil repeatedly delayed innovation exemption arrangements. The pause may be related to the Clarity Act.
Earlier last week, the SEC announced it would hold a public meeting where commissioners would discuss the Reg Crypto proposal, covering how companies can raise funds through tokens and eventually exit SEC oversight after issuing their own digital assets.
The SEC had also planned to unveil at least some innovation exemption arrangements regarding how securities-token issuers handle underlying securities. Neither of these initiatives moved forward as scheduled. (CoinDesk)
