SEC's Atkins backs Clarity Act but says agency will keep pushing crypto rules without it
Why now
Thesis: SEC crypto rulemaking continues without legislation, easing some uncertainty
Catalyst to watch: Substance of eventual SEC crypto rules
Main risk: Legislative path remains unresolved
Why it matters
Signals the SEC will keep advancing crypto rulemaking even without new legislation, reducing some regulatory-uncertainty tail risk for digital-asset firms while leaving the legislative path unresolved. Concrete impact depends on the substance of eventual rules, which is not yet specified.
Details
The SEC chair said crypto issuance, transfer agent modernization and custody will form the backbone of the agency’s regulatory push.
