【Market Update】The U.S. crypto market structure bill, the CLARITY Act, failed to pass the Senate. CFTC Chair Mike Selig said he would no longer wait for Congress and would use his existing statutory authority to establish basic rules for the crypto market directly.

Selig said, “We’re going to use the laws we have to fight this battle. We have clear authority, and we’re going to use it.” Senator Lummis noted that Senate Democrats voted against the bill.

Many investors saw a new chair take the helm at a regulatory agency and a series of draft administrative rules emerge, and assumed that the regulatory hurdles facing cryptocurrencies had been cleared. But key decision-makers in the U.S. Congress have sounded a warning to the market: executive actions without the force of law can be overturned whenever power changes hands. The only true anchor of stability is legislation passed by Congress.

【Seven Vacant Seats Bring Decision-Making to a Halt: Congressional Leader Says Administrative Rules Can’t Put Out the Fire】
According to an interview with Fox Business and reports compiled by Cointelegraph and Dongqu Dongchi, French Hill, chair of the U.S. House Financial Services Committee, said that although the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) have recently drafted new rules at the White House’s direction, these administrative actions are “far from sufficient” to replace the long-term stability of legislation passed by Congress. A deeper concern is the rare leadership vacuum at the two regulatory agencies, which have a combined total of seven vacant seats. Following SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce’s resignation, only Chair Paul Atkins and Commissioner Mark Uyeda remain on the commission. However, regulations require votes from at least three commissioners for approval. The CFTC is in an even more precarious position, with Chair Michael Selig currently serving as its sole commissioner. Without a quorum for key decisions, any administrative guidance issued by the agencies could face procedural disputes and legal challenges at any time.

【22 Days Left in the Bill’s Fight for Survival: A Turning Point for Solana’s Asset Classification】
The dispute over the legal basis for regulation directly affects how institutions value major blockchain assets such as Solana (SOL). The market has high hopes for progress on a spot Solana ETF, but whether SOL can definitively put the securities controversy behind it and be clearly classified as a digital commodity under CFTC jurisdiction depends entirely on whether the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act) is enacted into law. Without the backing of statute, informal exemptions granted by understaffed regulatory agencies are unlikely to give institutional compliance funds enough confidence to build positions on a large scale. SOL is currently consolidating in the $115–$120 range, fluctuating between $115.2 and $121.5 over the past 24 hours. Amid a high-interest-rate macroeconomic environment and uncertainty over policy, market sentiment is cautious. Clarity on the legal basis for regulation will be a prerequisite for institutional liquidity to flow in.

【Key Things to Watch: Lame-Duck Session Maneuvering and Price-Support Levels】
As the market moves forward, the signals institutional traders can later verify are:
1. Legislative progress during the lame-duck session: Between the November midterm elections and the swearing-in of the new Congress in 2027, the Senate will have only a brief 22-day window to meet. The real signal will be whether the Senate attaches the CLARITY Act to the year-end appropriations package for a vote during this transition period, when lawmakers face no electoral pressure. If this window closes, the bill may have to be rescheduled by the new Congress in 2027.
2. Price trajectory: If there is news of tangible progress in scheduling the bill after the midterm elections, SOL could rebound and test resistance in the $125–$130 range. Conversely, if legislation hits another roadblock before year-end, compounded by delays in ETF approvals due to the SEC’s lack of a quorum, SOL could fall below support in the $112–$115 range in the short term and move down to test the $105 psychological level.

Cuomo finally said something true: regulatory patchwork can’t save the U.S. crypto industry.

The CLARITY Act remains stalled, so agency action can only plug the holes temporarily. But executive orders can be undone as soon as a new administration takes office. If we really want to build a market structure that can withstand a change of power, legislation from Congress is the only way.

The midterms are next month, and the rules keep flipping with the White House 🔄. Why would Wall Street make big bets? In the short term, the SEC can keep things on life support; in the long term, it all comes down to who wins control of Capitol Hill.

🇺🇸 The failure of the CLARITY Act may not be bad news for crypto.
Matt Hougan, Head of Investments at Bitwise, says that the bill’s stalling was a “blessing in disguise.”
Rather than waiting for comprehensive legislation, U.S. regulators have moved faster with a more open approach toward the digital asset sector.
But the most important question is:
Does the crypto industry need comprehensive legislation… or could current regulatory flexibility be enough?

After the CLARITY Act failed by a one-vote margin of 49 to 50 in the Senate, the SEC and CFTC issued their own guidance within 48 hours: as long as a staked token’s issuer does not misuse the underlying assets, and as long as token repurchases are carried out within already operational functional systems, they may not be considered securities. But this is an FAQ from SEC staff, not legislation; with a new chair, it could be rewritten, so stability is far inferior to congressional legislation.

Kraken co-CEO David Ripley said that U.S. crypto regulation is “adversarial,” and that it’s not as pragmatic as Europe. Europe is moving from following the U.S. to leading the way, and it has drawn a comparison between MiCA and the CLARITY bill that the U.S. just saw collapse, praising MiCA for setting clear rules for the industry.

Kraken itself obtained an MiCA license from the Central Bank of Ireland starting in June 2025, covering all 30 EU countries. Coming from the mouth of a trading-exchange CEO who has already benefited from Europe’s regulatory regime, the statement sounds more like an advertisement for its own regulatory environment. The report also doesn’t provide specific token, enforcement, or fund-flow data. For ordinary users, this information is more suitable as an observation of industry policy, not as a basis for taking action in any given direction. #欧洲央行启动区块链欧元结算 #南非拟将加密纳入外汇管制 #Clarity #MiCA

CLARITY scorecard

sept 10 i was at no on this bill passing this year, and i wrote that bills don't lose to opposition, they lose to arithmetic

the cloture vote failed. 49 to 50, with 60 needed

and it failed on opposition. no Democrat voted yes, they pointed at ethics and presidential crypto profits. in my post that was one item on a list of things eating floor time

right result so far, wrong reason. no point for me on that one🤡

two days later the CFTC sent its own crypto rule to the White House. what got filed, as far as anyone can see:

🔸 stage: prerule, text sealed until the review ends
🔸 still ahead: two comment periods, two White House reviews
🔸 earliest binding rule: late 2027, per 24/7 Wall St.
🔸 spot for digital commodities: still needs Congress

my bet, and it's only a bet: this rule lands before any new CLARITY vote, and still not before late 2027

me: BNB and stables, no $BTC
not moving anything on this

$BTC is at 81,676, up 5.0% on the week. didn't wait for the Senate

when the text goes public i'll read all of it and post what's inside. follow for that one, somebody has to read a sealed rule the day it unseals)

Saw it in Golden Finance (CryptoSlate): In the Senate final draft of CLARITY, there’s actually a crypto ethics clause written in—presidents, vice presidents, senior officials, members of Congress, as well as the officials themselves and their spouses, who hold equity in companies that issue/sponsor digital assets exceeding about $15,000 must either sell it or place it in a qualified blind trust; holdings by adult children are not covered.

The target is also quite narrow: it only focuses on equity in companies whose primary business in the first three calendar years is issuing tokens/sponsoring digital assets—tokenized traditional assets don’t count. The bill didn’t make it through on September 15, so this provision never became law either. The report specifically names Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick—he transferred his Cantor Fitzgerald interests into a family trust whose beneficiaries are his adult children; after October 2025, he would no longer beneficially own the assets, yet the family still remains exposed to Tether-related business. Some Democrats are reportedly unwilling to sign due to the “adult-child gap.”

The rule covers the individual and their spouse, but not the next-generation trust—this loophole on conflicts of interest means that even if the bill is revived, it will still be scrutinized. #加密监管 #CLARITY

The regulatory boot hasn’t landed, yet the market is partying first. After the CLARITY Act failed, the total crypto market cap was forced into an additional $21 billion.

The bill’s demise equals a regulatory vacuum—over-the-counter capital immediately treats it as good news and rushes in early. But don’t get too excited: the most ruleless bull markets are often the ones that come due in the autumn. What’s rising here is expectation, not fundamentals. Before chasing higher prices, think about who will be left holding the bag.

Just got this: Bitmine chairman Tom Lee said that even if the “CLARITY Act” doesn’t pass, the crypto market could still keep rising—he cares more about demand itself rather than a single piece of legislation.

The gist is roughly this: CLARITY was meant to lay out the framework clearly and pin down the CFTC’s responsibilities; even if it fails, the SEC and CFTC will still be the main federal regulators. He also gave examples like prediction markets and sports markets, saying that when regulation is unclear, these sectors can still grow.

BTC The law CLARITY gets stuck; the SEC moves first directly!
Paul Atkins officially pushes forward the Innovation Exemption.
Some operations involving tokenized U.S. stock actions on-chain first obtain a temporary 5-year waiver!
Trading venues and some liquidity providers receive exemptions from conditions.
The tokenization of U.S. stocks has already moved from discussion to the phase of regulatory testing!
This Innovation Exemption—that is, the innovation waiver—allows tokenized TSV stock trading venues that meet the requirements not to be considered, for the time being, traditional stock exchanges; in addition, some liquidity providers may also obtain an exemption from the concept of “dealers” (merchants). However, entry still requires authorization: what can be traded must be real tokenized stock rights, preserving rights such as dividends and voting. “Synthetic stock” tokens that only track the price are not included.
At the same time, the company has the right to object to third parties placing their shares on these platforms for trading. The rules against fraud and against manipulation continue to apply in full. This looks more like the SEC first enables a controlled testing channel to put shares on-chain; the long-term regulatory issues that the CLARITY Act does not resolve still have to be worked through, but progress in implementing RWA has already taken a step forward.

Bitcoin never needs a CLARITY Act; what it needs is clarity from Washington itself—moral issues have never been partisan.

This hits the mark: after years of arguing about unclear regulation in the crypto space, the real issue is that politicians treat the industry as a partisan bargaining chip, and legislation is just campaign theater props. BTC will keep running as usual; those who should be worried are the ones counting on Washington to hand out licenses.

Updates to the CLARITY law after the vote was stalled

After the CLARITY bill stalled in the U.S. Senate, Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Paul Atkins said the agency will continue to act within its legal authority to provide more regulatory clarity, adding: “Stay tuned.”

Meanwhile, the House Ways and Means Committee approved the Digital Assets Tax Certainty Act by a vote of 38 to 5. The bill addresses exemptions for certain small transactions in addition to rules for stablecoins, mining, and mortgages.

These developments indicate ongoing regulatory and legislative momentum for digital currencies in the United States despite CLARITY #clarity

The CLARITY Act has a chance to be revived after the midterm election in the US

- The US Senate refuses to pass the crypto market framework bill, causing the CLARITY Act to be further delayed.
- The US House cancels sessions and enters the midterm election recess until November.
- Tom Emmer said that postponement does not mean the bill is ended.

Just刷到：Clarity procedural vote 49-50 failed, the next day seven Democratic senators—Gillibrand, Warner, Warnock, and others—spoke together, saying this week’s setback “is not the end,” and that they’re still willing to work across party lines to move the bill forward.

Staffers on both sides are reportedly testing how much room there is to negotiate again before the end of the year; meanwhile, SEC’s Atkins and CFTC’s Selig have also stated that regardless of whether the legislation can get through, they will continue pushing ahead with crypto rules under their existing authority. On ethics, consumer protection, and anti-illicit finance—those areas—the Democrats still have the same standing demands.#Clarity #加密监管 $BTC

The CLARITY Act cloture vote falls short, stalling key US crypto market structure legislation! 📉

While falling short of the 60 votes needed is a definite setback, procedural motions remain open. Watch for potential re-negotiations on regulatory oversight and key levels! 📈🚀
#CLARITY #Crypto #Trading

Just got it: after the Clarity Senate procedural vote failed, both CFTC Chair Selig and SEC Chair Atkins weighed in—legislation is temporarily stalled, and regulators plan to keep pushing crypto rules using existing statutory authority.

Selig said the commission is “ready to issue rules”; Atkins wrote that it would “act decisively whether there is legislation or not,” and added a “stay tuned.” There will be only a narrow window for another vote this year, and afterward they’ll most likely focus even more on the two parties’ rulemaking.
