House Financial Services Committee Chair French Hill criticised SEC and CFTC crypto regulations as inadequate, renewing his push for a permanent US crypto law through the stalled Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, aiming for passage during the limited post-election lame duck Senate session with only 22 sitting days left.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 26 sources have reported it between 3 Aug 2026 and 7 Oct 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a narrowing window as the US Senate’s lame duck session becomes the final chance this year to pass lasting crypto legislation. Secure legal clarity now or prepare for prolonged regulatory uncertainty with fragmented SEC and CFTC rules.
