Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Live‑Scan Electronic Fingerprinting Option
Starting with the filing on May 22, 2025, BOX Exchange may use Live-Scan electronic fingerprinting in addition to traditional fingerprint cards. If you are a BOX or Exchange employee (including temporary employees who have or are anticipated to have access for at least ten (10) days), an independent contractor, or another service provider with access to BOX/Exchange facilities, records, systems, data, or other information that places security at risk, your fingerprints can be captured electronically and transmitted directly to the FBI for identification processing.
No Added Burden on Market Participants
The Exchange states the procedural change to permit Live-Scan fingerprinting would enhance security without adding any burden on market participants. The Exchange filed the change on May 22, 2025 and it became effective upon filing.
Use of FBI‑Approved Channel Partner
The Exchange may retain an FBI‑approved Channel Partner to capture and transmit fingerprints to the FBI, receive criminal history information from the FBI, and securely provide that information to approved Exchange reviewing officials. The Exchange will retain ultimate legal responsibility for meeting its statutory and self‑regulatory obligations.

2026-17183, Regulation Crypto Assets
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") is proposing new rules to create a tailored offering regime for certain investment contracts involving crypto assets. The proposed offering regime is intended to facilitate capital formation and accommodate innovation within the crypto asset markets while, at the same time, ensuring that investors are adequately protected and provided with the information they need to make informed investment decisions. The proposed rules would be set forth in a new regulation titled "Regulation Crypto Assets" and would include two exemptions from the registration requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933. The first exemption would permit offerings of up to $5 million during a four-year period. The second exemption would permit offerings of up to $75 million during each 12-month period. Under both exemptions, issuers would be required to make certain principles-based narrative disclosures available to their investors. In addition, issuers under the second exemption would be required to provide financial statements and would be subject to ongoing reporting requirements. Issuers that rely on these exemptions would remain subject to the antifraud and antimanipulation provisions of the Federal securities laws. The proposed rules also would include a conditional safe harbor from the term "investment contract" in the definitions of "security" in the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. If the conditions of that proposed safe harbor are satisfied, then a crypto asset would be deemed not to be subject to an investment contract for purposes of those definitions of "security."
