Regulation of Crowdfunding in the United States
Financial Regulation of Crowdfunding Intermediates in the United States
In relation to the crowdfunding intermediary provisions in Title III of the JOBS Act: Crowdfunding issuers. Title III of the U.S. JOBS Act amends Section 4 of the Securities Act to create a new exemption for offerings of “crowdfunded” securities. Specifically, the JOBS Act amends Section 4 of the Securities Act to exempt issuers from the requirements of Section 5 of that Act when they offer and sell up to $1 million in securities, provided that individual investments do not exceed certain thresholds and the issuer satisfies other conditions in the JOBS Act, some of which will require rulemaking by the SEC. (1) Funding portals. Title III of the JOBS Act adds new Section 3(h) to the Exchange Act which requires the SEC to exempt, conditionally or unconditionally, an intermediary operating a funding portal from the requirement to register with the SEC as a broker. The intermediary, though, would need to register with the SEC as a funding portal and would be subject to the SEC’s examination, enforcement, and rulemaking authority. The funding portal also must become a member of a national securities association that is registered under Section 15A of the Exchange Act. The JOBS Act directs the SEC to adopt rules to implement Title III within 270 days of enactment of the Act. The U.S. President signed the JOBS Act into law on April 5, 2012.
