SEC and CFTC move two days after Clarity Act Senate vote fails

  • SEC and CFTC began developing crypto rules after the Clarity Act Senate vote failed.
  • Two days after the vote, both agencies started using their existing regulatory authority.
  • State attorneys general told the Senate Banking Committee the bill displaces state securities oversight.

State and federal regulators are moving to address the resulting uncertainty. In a letter to the Senate Banking Committee, a bipartisan coalition of state attorneys general argued that the bill would displace states’ ability to regulate securities markets. Two days after the failed vote, the SEC (U.S. securities regulator) and CFTC (U.S. derivatives regulator) began developing as much of the crypto industry’s regulatory rulebook as their existing authority allows.
