Hawkeye Digital (OTC: HWKE) submitted a comment letter supporting the SEC’s proposed Regulation Crypto Assets and recommending changes for early-stage issuers.
The proposal would create new offering exemptions and a safe harbor for crypto assets. Hawkeye recommends clarifying which administrative functions differ from essential managerial efforts and citing existing third-party code audits as an example of required security disclosure. It also seeks to raise the startup exemption’s offering limit from $5 million to $10 million, saying legal and licensing costs can consume much of the current limit. The company recommends allowing Tier 1 offerings under the fundraising exemption to proceed by filing, without SEC qualification.
