SEC delays crypto rule proposal meeting amid Senate inaction
U.S. crypto regulation remains in flux as the Securities and Exchange Commission cancels a public meeting that is expected to address a new framework for some digital asset offerings. The move comes as lawmakers leave Washington for the August recess without voting on broader market structure legislation for the sector.
Highlights
- The SEC cancels a Friday open meeting to consider a tailored offering regime for certain crypto asset investment contracts due to unforeseen scheduling issues.
- The cancellation follows the Senate adjourning for August recess without voting on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, delaying broader regulatory clarity for the crypto sector.
- SEC Chair Paul Atkins stated readiness to issue digital asset rules if the Senate fails to pass the CLARITY Act, but the meeting's cancellation leaves timing uncertain.
