Summary
- The Senate’s failure to advance the Clarity Act leaves the U.S. crypto industry without a comprehensive federal framework and the roles of its chief financial regulators unresolved.
- The vote could push capital, talent and innovation toward overseas markets with clearer regulations, some industry leaders said.
- Rule-making by the SEC and CFTC could provide near-term guidance, but legislation remains crucial for protecting consumers and preserving U.S. competitiveness.
