After CLARITY Act failure, US regulators to speed up their own crypto rules

  • The Senate rejected the CLARITY Act on September 15, with half of the upper chamber opposed
  • SEC Chairman Atkins promised to act decisively 'with or without legislation'
  • Bernstein expects norms on token classification and requirements for non-custodial protocols
  • Agencies may speed up approval of perpetual futures on real assets
Why it matters: SEC and CFTC rules will replace legislation but remain dependent on political shifts, a key risk for the industry.
