TechFlow News, March 4: According to CoinDesk, although the Clarity Act remains stalled in Congress, the Trump administration is providing regulatory clarity for the crypto industry through executive action. Analyst Brady Dale noted that Trump’s appointment of Paul Atkins as SEC Chair could be a decisive move—Atkins, a seasoned regulatory expert, has explicitly stated that the SEC possesses the authority to establish the rules needed by the crypto industry without waiting for congressional legislation.
The appointment of Michael Selig as the new CFTC Chair further ensures coordination between the two major regulatory agencies. Draft rules are expected to be submitted by both agencies this fall, with finalization anticipated in spring 2026—marking the first time dedicated rules will be established for decentralized finance networks, enabling compliant exchange operations and token sales.
