SEC Schedules Open Meeting to Advance “Regulation Crypto”

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has set an open meeting for August 14 to consider proposing rules that would create a tailored offering regime for certain investment contracts involving crypto assets—its first major formal crypto rulemaking of this type.
The agenda item asks commissioners to decide whether to issue a release proposing the new framework, often referred to as Regulation Crypto. If approved, the proposal would open a public comment period and mark a significant step toward providing clearer pathways for token issuers to raise capital without full securities registration.
The timing follows the Senate’s decision to delay further action on the broader Digital Asset Market Clarity Act. SEC Chair Paul Atkins has repeatedly emphasized exemptions and safe-harbor approaches designed to ease capital formation for early-stage projects while preserving investor protections. Earlier outlines of the framework have included potential startup exemptions, higher fundraising thresholds, and mechanisms allowing tokens to exit securities treatment once essential managerial efforts cease.
Markets viewed the development as a potential longer-term clarity positive, even as short-term positioning remained cautious ahead of the meeting and other macro data. The formal proposal process, if launched, would still require months of comment and potential revisions before any final rules take effect.

MARA Holdings Sells 13,597 Bitcoin for $1.1 Billion to Repay Loans and Fund AI Pivot

Public Bitcoin miner MARA Holdings disclosed in its Q3 shareholder letter that it sold 13,597 BTC after September 30 at an average price of roughly $81,039, generating about $1.1 billion. The company used $750 million to fully repay all Bitcoin-backed term loans, releasing 17,477 BTC previously pledged as collateral. This left less than 5% of its remaining holdings encumbered (down from 57% at quarter-end).
MARA held 34,012 BTC on September 30; the post-quarter sale represented about 40% of that stack. Year-to-date sales now exceed 40,000 BTC. The company stated it intends to continue monetizing Bitcoin to fund AI infrastructure opportunities, satisfy convertible note puts, and potentially support share repurchases. It has secured development rights for significant AI-related power capacity. While the sale provided liquidity and reduced leverage, it added visible supply pressure at a time when the broader market was already soft. MARA reported a large Q3 net income boosted by fair-value gains on digital assets despite lower mining revenue.
