The U.S. Senate is unlikely to advance the CLARITY Act before its August recess, but Bitwise's CIO Matt Hougan suggests the crypto industry may continue growing through SEC rulemaking, which could provide an alternative framework for digital assets regulation despite legislative delays.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 20 sources have reported it between 22 Jul 2026 and 19 Aug 2026.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a regulatory pivot as Congress stalls on crypto law, shifting power to the SEC which can move faster but with less permanence. If digital asset rules shape your roadmap, prepare for evolving SEC rules that could open new go-to-market paths or risks.
