Overview
US crypto policy remains split between regulatory rulemaking and congressional legislation. House Financial Services Committee Chair French Hill said SEC and CFTC actions fall short of the clarity that a market-structure bill would provide, while CFTC Chair Mike Selig argued that new rules and exchange registration could help prevent another FTX-style collapse.

Why now
- Recent reports highlight continued calls for legislation as the SEC and CFTC pursue regulatory action.
- New CFTC rulemaking is being discussed alongside renewed calls for a permanent US crypto law.
Why it matters
- The competing approaches could shape regulation of US crypto markets, exchanges, and spot digital-asset activity.
- The debate ties market-structure clarity to safeguards intended to prevent another FTX-style collapse.
Evidence assessment
Recurring claims
- French Hill said SEC and CFTC actions do not provide the clarity that comprehensive crypto legislation would deliver.
- CFTC Chair Mike Selig said new rulemaking and a registration path for crypto exchanges could prevent another FTX-style collapse.
How sources frame it
- French Hill: questioning
- Mike Selig: supportive
Three reports converge on a US crypto-regulation debate: agency rulemaking is advancing, while lawmakers argue legislation is still needed.
