The CLARITY Act to establish clear US crypto regulation has stalled in the Senate, prompting SEC Chair Paul Atkins and CFTC Chair Michael Selig to proceed independently with new crypto rules under existing agency powers.

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 face a fast-changing crypto rulebook in the US as SEC and CFTC push new rules without waiting for Congress. Prepare for regulatory moves from these agencies rather than for a single law.
