Regulators Accelerate Crypto Rulemaking Amid Clarity Act Stalemate
The U.S. regulatory push for digital assets has gained momentum after the Clarity Act stalled in the Senate due to state opposition.
State and federal agencies have begun outlining new approaches for the crypto sector under existing authority, marking a shift away from waiting for a comprehensive congressional framework.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued an order facilitating trading in certain tokenized stocks, while the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) submitted a crypto rulemaking proposal to the White House just two days after the legislative setback.
Crypto companies like Coinbase and the Blockchain Association are urging regulators for clear standards, warning that regulatory uncertainty risks slowing sector growth and investment.
