US regulators advance crypto frameworks after Senate failure

Overview

Following the Senate’s failure to pass the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (H.R. 3633) on September 15, 2026, federal regulators have accelerated independent rulemaking to address jurisdictional gaps.

SEC Chair Paul Atkins has reaffirmed the agency’s commitment to establishing a comprehensive regulatory framework for digital assets. Moving away from the enforcement-heavy strategies of his predecessors, Atkins signaled that the SEC will utilize its own rulemaking authority to provide market clarity and expressed support for the White House Crypto Council’s efforts to strengthen the U.S. position in the sector.

Simultaneously, the CFTC is advancing a voluntary federal registration pathway for cryptocurrency exchanges through its proposed ‘CTX’ rules. Under this framework, the agency would create a new category of designated contract market (DCM) known as a ‘crypto asset market’ (CAM). This pathway is designed to provide uniform national oversight for exchanges offering retail customers the ability to trade crypto assets on a margined, leveraged, or financed basis.

While the CAM framework aims to extend derivatives-market safeguards—including market surveillance, anti-manipulation, and proof-of-reserves controls—to eligible platforms, it does not currently extend to ‘ordinary spot crypto exchanges,’ which would likely remain under state money transmission laws. CFTC Chairman Michael Selig noted that while the agency lacks the congressional authority to mandate registration, the voluntary pathway serves to prevent market failures similar to the FTX collapse. Public comments on the CFTC proposal are expected by December 14, 2026.
