The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission canceled a meeting scheduled for Aug. 14 that had been expected to include a vote on whether to propose an exemption that could let some crypto startups raise capital without following traditional securities offering rules. An SEC spokesperson said the meeting was postponed because of scheduling issues, and Reuters and other outlets reported the cancellation on Aug. 14. Separately, U.S. crypto policy reporter Eleanor Terrett said on the 14th, citing people familiar with the matter, that continued coordination over Section 10505 of the Clarity Act, the bill's tokenization provision, was one reason the SEC had not advanced the measure because a standalone exemption could disrupt legislative compromises. The delay leaves uncertain when the proposal will return to the SEC's calendar or whether the agency will move ahead with a tailored framework for crypto fundraising or securities tokenization activity.
