World Gold Council, Dynacor target stronger standards for artisanal gold mining The two agencies moved first in March with a joint guidance stating that most crypto assets are not themselves securities, which Atkins called a bridge for entrepreneurs and investors while Congress advances market structure legislation. The SEC’s July regulatory agenda moves that regulatory bridge into specific policy areas, including crypto fundraising, custody, and tokenized securities. The commission is developing rules for how crypto assets can be issued, held, and traded onchain under federal securities laws. Where Does SEC Authority Stop? Agency action can clarify how securities laws apply to crypto assets, establish exemptions, address custody, and create rules for securities-related onchain activity without waiting for Congress. Atkins has also described congressional legislation as the stronger way to future-proof U.S. crypto regulation, distinguishing interim agency rules from a statutory market structure framework. The CLARITY Act would establish a broader division of responsibilities between the SEC and Commodity Futures Trading Commission, including federal oversight involving digital commodities, registration, trading, customer assets, and market infrastructure. Those jurisdictional boundaries require congressional action rather than SEC rulemaking operating solely within the commission’s existing authority. The Bitwise CIO wrote: “Crypto will be fine. Even if CLARITY doesn’t pass, the crypto industry will find a way forward.” Hougan argued that crypto development can proceed despite legislative delays, while regulatory certainty remains unresolved. U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) is pressing for comprehensive federal market structure legislation that would establish clearer statutory rules for businesses, investors, and regulators. The next congressional test arrives Sept. 15, when senators decide whether to take up H.R. 3633, which cleared the House 294-134 and advanced from the Senate Banking Committee 15-9. The Senate action will determine whether the bill advances toward a statutory framework, while the SEC continues developing crypto rules under its existing authority.
