The Senate failed to advance the CLARITY Act, making federal digital asset legislation unlikely this Congress, while the CFTC progresses with its own digital asset rulemaking grounded on existing SEC/CFTC joint guidelines.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 40 sources have reported it between 22 Jul 2026 and 2 Oct 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must engage the CFTC’s forthcoming crypto rules as the federal legislative route is stalled, making agency regulation your main path to compliance and market access this year.
