Coinbase CEO: CLARITY Act failure killed ethics rules, not the bill's core
- —The Senate rejected the CLARITY Act by a 49-50 vote, with all Democrats voting against
- —Armstrong: the parties agreed on 95% of the text, with the dispute centered on ethics rules
- —The rejection removed blind trust requirements and attorney general oversight of officials' tokens
- —Armstrong expects the SEC and CFTC to start writing rules on their own
Why it matters: Without the law, US crypto regulation shifts to the SEC and CFTC, which could mean looser rules in the short term.
