US banks warned that proposed SEC crypto exemptions could drain deposits as investment managers pushed for broader access to digital assets. The competing demands emerged as the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Oct. 20 comment deadline for its proposed Regulation Crypto Assets expired, exposing divisions over how far regulators should go in easing restrictions on cryptocurrency fundraising and investment. The proposal , published Aug. 21, would allow qualifying crypto projects to raise up to $5 million over four years or $75 million annually without registering their investment-contract offerings under the Securities Act.
