Bloomberg: SEC’s “Innovation Exemption” Could Allow Bitcoin Products to Launch in U.S. by Year-End

COINOTAG News, September 23, citing Bloomberg, reported that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is preparing new rules, provisionally labeled the Innovation Exemption, to permit certain crypto companies to introduce products in the U.S. without conforming to historical regulatory requirements.

Market observers note this development represents a potential recalibration of the crypto regulation landscape, as the proposed framework would adjust compliance thresholds and oversight mechanisms; however, the SEC’s authority and existing statutory responsibilities would remain central to implementation and enforcement.

Regulatory next steps are expected to include formal rulemaking and a public comment period before the stated end of the year timeline, giving legal advisers and market participants time to evaluate operational and risk-management implications.
