With the Clarity Act stalled, U.S. regulators like the SEC and CFTC are setting their own crypto policies, raising concerns about future reversals depending on political shifts. The Senate's upcoming procedural vote on September 15 will be a key indicator of the bill's viability before the 2027 Congress begins.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a volatile regulatory environment as regulators fill the void left by stalled legislation. Prioritise engagement with rulemakers now, before political shifts reset these rules again.
