The Clarity Act died in the Senate 2 weeks ago, but regulators aren't waiting around.
SEC and CFTC are basically writing their own version through enforcement and guidance:
1. SEC greenlighted 24/7 onchain stock trading under temporary exemption — testing the rails for always-on markets
2. CFTC pushed crypto market structure rules to the White House for final review — regulatory framework moving without Congress
3. SEC clarified staking tokens and token buybacks are NOT securities — huge win, removes legal overhang on core DeFi mechanics
4. CFTC updated tokenized fund guidance — opening doors for RWA products
This is regulatory clarity by action, not legislation. When Congress can't move, agencies fill the vacuum. Whether you like it or not, the rules are getting written in real time.
Crypto gets clarity one way or another. This is that other way.
