Nate Geraci argues that the SEC and CFTC are advancing crypto regulation through guidance, proposed exemptions, and inter-agency coordination despite the failure of the Clarity Act in the Senate. The SEC has clarified how token buybacks and network upgrades are treated under securities law, while the CFTC is updating its rules to reduce overlaps and improve crypto market liquidity.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 17 sources have reported it between 10 Aug 2026 and 1 Oct 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You have two federal agencies advancing crypto rules without new laws, creating openings to navigate evolving exemptions and compliance. Your next steps should include reviewing SEC’s guidance and preparing to engage with upcoming regulatory changes before public comments close.
