Overview
US crypto regulation is advancing through agency action while Congress remains stalled on the CLARITY Act. The CFTC has submitted a crypto-market rulemaking for White House review, while the SEC has moved ahead with an exemption for certain tokenized stock trading platforms. Together, the reports point to parallel regulatory activity across crypto markets and tokenized assets.
