U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chair Mike Selig said the agency will move ahead with crypto market rulemaking if Democratic opposition continues to keep the CLARITY bill from advancing. Speaking at the inaugural Innovation Advisory Committee meeting on Aug. 21, Selig said the CFTC is prepared to act within its existing authority to put a clearer regulatory framework in place for crypto markets. The remarks were framed as a response to the slow pace of congressional legislation and as an effort to give market participants more regulatory certainty.
