The U.S. securities regulator signaled it could move to establish a crypto framework on its own if Congress does not pass the Clarity Act.
The SEC (U.S. securities regulator) said it is prepared to create rules for crypto if Congress fails to pass the Clarity Act. The remark points to a potential parallel path for digital-asset oversight, with the agency indicating it may step in with its own rulemaking if legislation does not advance. That matters because the Clarity Act is tied to efforts to define how crypto markets and tokens should be regulated in the United States.
