Crypto Industry News:

The US Securities Commission has announced that it is looking for ways to expand the "accredited investor" classification, which may have serious implications for capital creation by companies that are not determined to meet the full public reporting requirements.

According to the announcement published on the SEC website, the regulatory authority is awaiting opinions on changes in its category of accredited investor. Currently, the SEC defines an accredited investor as a person with assets over USD 1 million or an entity controlling assets worth over USD 5 million. Other classification methods include being a board member of a company making an offer.

The question of who qualifies as an accredited investor has long been controversial. SEC's exemptions allow companies to offer shares to such investors without having to meet all requirements. Theoretically, this is to protect everyday investors from predatory offers, but criticism of these classifications says that such exclusions simply help the rich get rich while prohibiting investors from making money.

The new changes would basically open the classification for new investors, including those whose professional qualifications and certificates suggest that they have sufficient knowledge to invest in private offers. Similarly, "competent employees" may have the same access to their companies' offers as management currently has.
