CFTC Chair Michael Selig affirmed the agency is advancing crypto market-structure rulemaking using existing statutory authority despite stalled legislation, with two regulatory proposals currently under White House review.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 7 sources have reported it between 18 Sep 2026 and 4 Oct 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must assume crypto regulation will advance through CFTC rules even without Congress acting, so adapt your compliance and market strategy accordingly this quarter. The failure of the CLARITY Act opens a clear regulatory path for the CFTC to define crypto markets on its terms.
