\nCFTC Chairman Says Agency Will Write Crypto Rules After Clarity Act Vote Fails<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chair Mike Selig has said that the top regulator will go ahead and use its powers to advance crypto legislation despite the Clarity Act<\/a> being blocked.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a Wednesday statement released on X, Selig said<\/a> that the regulator would still help U.S. President Trump \u201cget the job done.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lawmakers blocked<\/a> the Clarity Act on Tuesday in a procedural vote, with the long-awaited legislation missing the 60 votes needed to advance it. The bill aims to formally divide oversight between regulators, distinguishing which digital assets are securities, commodities or stablecoins.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAmericans deserve regulatory clarity, legal certainty, and consumer protections in crypto asset markets,\u201d Selig wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Trump promised to deliver a future-proof crypto asset regulatory market structure one way or the other, and we will help him get the job done using our existing statutory authorities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe U.S. is and will remain the crypto capital of the world. The CFTC is locked in and ready to ship its rules for the new frontier of finance.\u201d<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump last month urged<\/a> lawmakers to pass the Clarity Act, calling the legislation \u201cvery powerful\u201d \u2014 but Republicans said that Democrats were deliberately holding it back.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Regulators are now more crypto-friendly since President Trump appointed them and took the White House and are widely expected to continue pushing rules that help the crypto space.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Securities and Exchange Commission last month proposed<\/a> its own framework for crypto asset offerings, pressing ahead despite a vote on the Clarity Act stalling.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite being passed by the House of Representatives last year, the Clarity Act was in a deadlock for most of this year after the banking lobby clashed with lawmakers and crypto businesses over whether platforms like Coinbase should be able to pay customers yield.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some lawmakers have sought to change wording in the bill regarding ethics, and a new bill started circulating in July. The draft bans government officials from promoting and making money from crypto.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But other Democratic lawmakers said it still fell short; a number of pro-crypto Republicans accused Democrats of deliberately playing politics and delaying the bill.\u00a0<\/p>\n
