But this doesn\u2019t mean crypto in the US has no path forward: both the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) have said they\u2019re committed to moving the industry forward.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both chairs made statements on X (formerly Twitter) following the Senate vote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SEC Chairman Paul Atkins thanked everyone who made an effort to work on the act, \u201cacross the Administration, Congress, investors, and innovators\u201d. At the same time, he said that regardless of whether legislation is passed, his agency will continue working to advance US leadership in the crypto industry.<\/p>\n<div id=\"blockquote-block_6d7677cfc5eba7c51e49d73cf7a062ca\" class=\"blockquote-container variant-personal\">\n<div class=\"blockquote-text\">\n<p>[W]e will act decisively within the SEC\u2019s statutory authority to deliver certainty for American investors and for the entrepreneurs shaping our technological future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"blockquote-attribution\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-image lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.cryptonews.com.au\/2025\/04\/23135310\/Paul-Atkins-SEC-Chair.jpg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.cryptonews.com.au\/2025\/04\/23135310\/Paul-Atkins-SEC-Chair.jpg\" class=\"author-image\" data-eio=\"l\"\/>        SEC Chairman Paul Atkins    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CFTC Chairman Michael Selig echoed Atkins\u2019 comments, pledging his support for the industry, legal certainty and consumer protections.<\/p>\n<div id=\"blockquote-block_117dc6e46ac99e502114a81d05d0719d\" class=\"blockquote-container variant-personal\">\n<div class=\"blockquote-text\">\n<p>The U.S. is and will remain the crypto capital of the world.

On X, Saylor said that crypto regulation and adoption can keep moving forward even without the CLARITY Act.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\"\/>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He expects the CFTC and SEC to develop rules under their current authority, banks to expand Bitcoin-related services, and more investment to flow into Bitcoin and digital credit, while stablecoin legislation could further support adoption.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bernstein analysts said in a note to investors that they expect \u201caggressive and swift\u201d rulemaking from both agencies following the bill\u2019s failure. The analysts believe a new vote on CLARITY is unlikely due to unresolved ethics concerns. Several Republicans had expressed their hopes the bill may still pass after \u201cthe lame duck session\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Bernstein, the CFTC and SEC will likely pursue clearer crypto fundraising rules, protections for DeFi and self-custody developers, exemptions for tokenised equities, and quicker approval of real-world-asset perpetual futures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read more:<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><strong>Standard Chartered Sees Arbitrum as Potential Top Digital Asset Performer Through 2030<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>CFTC,CLARITY Act,SEC#SEC #CFTC #Signal #Crypto #Rulemaking #Push #Clarity #Act #Stalls1789622380<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The CLARITY Act failed to advance in a 49-50 Senate vote, but regulators say crypto policy can still progress.
