The North American Securities Regulatory Association has submitted an 11 page principle proposal for cryptocurrency regulation to the US SEC, proposing five core requirements: 1) Investor protection should be the core of regulation; 2) Establish a concise and easy to understand risk disclosure mechanism; 3) Adopting an adjustable exemption framework; 4) Retain the anti fraud authority of each state; 5) Supporting innovation while combating crime. The document responds to SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce's regulatory reform initiative, emphasizing the need to uphold the enforcement powers of each state.
