The CFTC Will Write Crypto's Rules "One Way or Another" — as the Industry Campaigns to Revive September 15

The CLARITY Act is moving through an increasingly narrow Senate window toward a floor vote as ethics disputes, opposition coalitions, and shifting passage odds keep the bill's fate uncertain.

CFTC Chair Michael Selig directed staff to prepare crypto market-structure rules in case the CLARITY Act stays stuck, saying crypto "will get rules one way or another," per CoinDesk and Bloomberg Law. Simultaneously, Trump advocated a September 15 Senate vote and Coinbase's Brian Armstrong predicted passage with over 60 votes — a date the Senate hasn't confirmed, after the vote reportedly slipped. Securitize's Redfearn separately said the SEC withheld its tokenization exemption over CLARITY politics.
