US Crypto Regulatory Clarity Expected Regardless of CLARITY Act Vote
Coinbase’s Brian Armstrong maintains that US crypto regulatory clarity is imminent by September 15, driven by concurrent SEC and CFTC rulemaking efforts regardless of the CLARITY Act's Senate outcome, a bill he views as a key milestone for institutional market expansion that is currently nearing a resolution on contested ethics provisions.
Per GN markets/crypto (en-US), Armstrong characterized the CLARITY Act as a critical 'regulatory checkbox' that would unlock institutional participation in tokenized equities, while confirming that the SEC and CFTC are prepared to finalize rulemaking by mid-September even if the Senate vote stalls.
