According to CoinDesk, despite the Clarity Act being stalled in Congress, the Trump administration is using executive action to provide regulatory clarity for the crypto industry. Analyst Brady Dale noted that Trump’s appointment of Paul Atkins as SEC chair may be decisive; Atkins, a seasoned regulatory expert, has clearly stated that the SEC has the authority to establish the rules needed by the crypto industry without waiting for congressional legislation. The appointment of Michael Selig as the new CFTC chair further ensures alignment between the two regulatory agencies. Both agencies are expected to submit draft rules this fall and finalize them in spring 2026, marking the first time dedicated rules will be established for decentralized finance networks, enabling exchanges to operate in compliance and making token sales possible.
The Trump administration bypasses Congress to advance crypto regulation, with Atkins' SEC appointment viewed as pivotal.
