CFTC and SEC propose a new regulatory framework for crypto markets after Congress stalls CLARITY, using existing statutory powers.
Regulatory Collaboration
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced that it is using its existing statutory authorities to shape a new regulatory framework for the crypto market, following a failed vote on the CLARITY bill in Congress.
Chair Michael Selig said the agency would work alongside the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to address gaps in the current regulatory structure, as lawmakers have yet to advance a comprehensive market‑structure bill.
The joint proposal aims to clarify oversight for crypto exchanges and issuers, potentially providing clearer rules for market participants and investors.
