The US Senate is nearing a deal on the Clarity Act, a crypto market-structure bill that would split digital asset oversight between the SEC and CFTC, with the central remaining dispute over enforcement authority—Department of Justice versus state attorneys general. The bill faces a tight timeline before the August congressional recess, with Treasury Secretary Bessent and senior senators pushing for passage.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you operate a crypto exchange, the rules that determine which tokens you can list and who polices you are written this month—and enforcement is centralising in the Justice Department, not splintering across fifty state offices.
