SEC Chair Paul Atkins Vows Onchain Fundraising Rules Without CLARITY Act
- —CLARITY Act failed Senate cloture vote 49-50 on Sept. 15, 11 short of the 60 needed
- —Atkins: SEC will act within its statutory authority without new legislation
- —SEC cleared tokenized stocks on Sept. 17 and issued nine token FAQs on Sept. 25
- —Hester Peirce resigns Oct. 2, leaving Atkins and Uyeda as the only commissioners
Why it matters: Agency guidance moves faster than statute but is easier to reverse, leaving the durability of US crypto rules in doubt.
