📰 SEC opens door to public token sales, but ICO demand has moved on: Bloomberg
🗓️ Aug 28 2026 07:14 UTC - Rony Roy
The SEC has proposed new exemptions for public token sales, but weaker investor demand could make reviving the ICO market difficult.
➤ The SEC has proposed new exemptions allowing crypto projects to raise up to $75 million annually without full registration, potentially reopening public token sales.
➤ However, investor demand for new tokens has significantly decreased since the 2018 ICO boom, with capital now concentrated in major crypto assets and other speculative markets.
➤ While clearer rules could aid legitimate projects, industry experts question if the market for ICOs still exists, and regulatory clarity on asset classification remains a separate, ongoing issue.
