The U.S. SEC proposes Reg Crypto: establishing a legal pathway for public offerings of certain tokens and the exit of investment contracts

The head of Galaxy Research posted on platform X stating that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has proposed the Regulation Crypto Assets, abbreviated as Reg Crypto. This proposal aims to establish a legal pathway for the issuance of certain tokens to the U.S. public and to set up a mechanism for terminating investment contracts. The scope is limited to crypto assets that are not themselves securities but have been issued or sold as part of an investment contract; tokenized stocks, bonds, and arrangements that bundle tokens with equity or other securities are not included in the framework.The proposal sets four stages: financing, disclosure, construction, and exit. A one-time startup exemption allows issuers to raise up to $5 million over a maximum of four years; a higher exemption limit set by Regulation A allows for raising $20 million or $75 million within 12 months.Related financing must undergo qualification review by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and continuous disclosure, with the investment cap for unaccredited investors being the greater of 10% of their annual income or net worth. Issuers must also disclose the token supply and release plan, minting and burning mechanisms, governance and smart contract permissions, source code, as well as project construction commitments and progress.When the issuer completes or permanently ceases relevant construction obligations, makes no new construction commitments, and submits a transition report, the related investment contracts will be deemed terminated, and the crypto assets will no longer be subject to securities laws under that investment contract. Issuers that do not use the above financing exemptions can also utilize this safe harbor. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission estimates that approximately 475 issuers will use the investment contract safe harbor each year, with about 130 issuers utilizing the two new exemptions. Qualified issuances may not be considered restricted securities and can be resold immediately without contractual restrictions.The proposal will also exclude initial offerings and certain secondary transactions within its scope from state registration and qualification requirements, but it does not involve exchanges, brokers, dealers, custodians, nor is it an independent innovation exemption for tokenized securities and on-chain transactions. The comment period is 60 days after publication in the Federal Register. U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Paul Atkins and Commissioners Hester Peirce and Mark Uyeda have all issued supportive statements.

BounceBit Chain update on vulnerability attack progress: will permanently halt the chain and migrate to BNB Chain

The cross-chain yield protocol BounceBit has released a security incident announcement stating that its blockchain network experienced a protocol-level vulnerability attack from August 19, 21:02 UTC to August 20, 01:54 UTC. The attacker exploited an authorization flaw in the underlying architecture of Evmos to transfer BB tokens from 9 mainnet accounts without the account owners' authorization. According to the announcement, the attacker transferred approximately 286.5 million BB through 14 transactions.The impact of the incident is limited to the BounceBit Chain itself and does not involve issues related to private key leakage, signature forgery, wallet, hardware device, or exchange account security. BounceBit's CeDeFi Strategy, Promo Vaults, Prime, and RWA products were not affected.BounceBit stated that the vulnerability originated from a defect in the authorization verification of the protocol's native module within the Evmos architecture. The attacker bypassed the security checks that were supposed to verify the authorization relationship of the funding source account when calling the relevant module through a smart contract, allowing them to designate any account as the source of funds.After the incident, the BounceBit Chain stopped block production at block height 20,702,857. The team then decided not to upgrade the chain but to permanently shut down the BounceBit Chain and reissue BB as a BEP-20 token based on the BNB Chain. BounceBit stated that the new BB token supply will be based on an on-chain snapshot taken before the first abnormal transfer (block height 20,697,260), and the 286,543,148 BB transferred by the attacker will not be included in the new token balance.Users do not need to submit applications or migrate wallets; the official plan is to automatically distribute the new BB to the corresponding BNB Chain addresses. For staked BB, BounceBit stated that it will be restored at the snapshot time, and holders do not need to perform unbinding or redemption operations. Currently, BounceBit has submitted requests for freezing and assistance to relevant exchanges and has reminded users to be vigilant against scams and not to click on any BB migration or claim links that have not been officially confirmed. The team stated that they will announce the new BEP-20 BB contract address and reissuance progress in the future.
