Leading Republican on House Financial Services Committee introduces bill to establish a safe harbor for digital tokens

The bill would adapt the Securities Act of 1933 to establish a three-year safe harbor for token development teams to offer those tokens for sale without full registration as a securities offering on the condition that the network decentralizes over the course of those three years.

The bill comes just half an hour before the Financial Services Committee's hearing with SEC Chairman Gary Gensler. Also this morning, Representative McHenry released a letter to Gensler, which said "You have made a series of concerning and apparently self-contradicting public statements regarding crypto assets and other innovative technologies."
