Menurut DFPI, rencana itu berpotensi melemahkan perlindungan investor dan membatasi pengawasan negara bagian atas penawaran token. Komisioner DFPI KC Mohseni menegaskan California menolak langkah regulator federal yang mengurangi kewenangan negara bagian beserta langkah perlindungannya. Usulan tersebut membuka jalan bagi penerbit yang memenuhi syarat menghimpun dana hingga USD5 juta dalam empat tahun melalui pengecualian startup. Pengecualian pembiayaan kripto lainnya memungkinkan penerbit mengumpulkan hingga USD75 juta dalam 12 bulan. Penerbit diwajibkan mengungkapkan rincian proyek, risiko, dan informasi lain yang dibutuhkan investor untuk menilai; sebagian pembiayaan juga harus disertai laporan keuangan dan pelaporan berkala. Hukum sekuritas federal tetap mempertahankan kewenangan negara bagian untuk menyelidiki penipuan sekuritas, praktik menyesatkan, dan aktivitas dealer-broker ilegal. Perusahaan pembayaran blockchain Ripple, bursa kripto Coinbase, dan operator bursa Nasdaq mendukung proposal revisi itu. DFPI mencatat daftar pelacakan penipuannya bertambah hampir 200 kasus penipuan terkait kripto, naik 30% dari tahun sebelumnya.19j yang laluSecuritize Adds 12 Tokenized U.S. Stocks on Solana With USDC SettlementSecuritize launched 12 tokenized U.S. stock products on Solana, covering Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Tesla, Meta and others.
