U.S. Clarity Act negotiations collapse, digital asset regulatory legislation temporarily stalls
BIBIBI
AT A GLANCE
Reports say that the U.S. Clarity Act did not reach a final vote, leaving crypto regulatory legislation in a stalemate due to jurisdictional and provision-related disputes.
After months of tense negotiations, the U.S. Clarity Act, which aimed to establish a clear regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies, has failed. The bill was originally intended to resolve the definition of digital assets at the federal level, but it failed to reach the final voting process amid intense competition among the interests of various parties. Multiple sources indicate that the core reasons for the legislative collapse were complex jurisdictional conflicts and disputes over the provisions.CFTC(Commodity Futures Trading Commission) and SEC(Securities and Exchange Commission) remain deadlocked over which body should oversee certain digital assets. At the same time, lawmakers have also been unable to reach agreement on how to define the legal status of NFT、DeFi protocols and stablecoins. Although some institutions have called for legislation to eliminate market uncertainty, a key compromise ultimately could not be reached. Fintech Association and other industry organizations had previously lobbied actively in support of the bill, hoping to establish clear industry standards through it. With this legislative effort’s failure, traditional Wall Street financial institutions and crypto projects will continue to face legal gray areas, delaying the industry’s compliance process.
