US Senate Blocks CLARITY Act Debate, but SEC and CFTC Keep Acting

  • —Senate cloture vote on CLARITY Act fails 49-50 on September 15, 2026
  • —SEC granted temporary conditional relief for tokenized equity trading on September 17
  • —CFTC opened pre-rulemaking comment period on retail crypto leverage on October 5
  • —SEC custody rule proposal of October 1 takes comments until December 7
Why it matters: Without market-structure legislation, the SEC-CFTC jurisdiction split remains unresolved and spot crypto markets lack comprehensive federal oversight.
