The US SEC plans to advance the cryptocurrency issuance rule proposal, and the CLARITY Act may reach a key milestone in September

Crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett posted on the X platform that although the U.S. Senate has postponed the key procedural vote on the CLARITY Act until September, regulators are preparing to advance their own cryptocurrency issuance rules framework. The Senate previously failed to complete the procedural vote on the CLARITY Act, and the related agenda has been postponed until September. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has submitted a procedural motion, and a new voting window is expected around mid-September.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is preparing a new rule proposal for cryptocurrency asset issuance activities. Market participants believe that even if the legislative process for the CLARITY Act is delayed, regulators may still push for digital asset market structure reform through administrative rules.

Analysts point out that in the coming months, the U.S. crypto regulatory path may see a "dual-track advancement": on one hand, Congress continues to push market structure legislation like the CLARITY Act; on the other hand, the SEC may establish a regulatory framework for token issuance, trading platforms, and digital asset service providers through rulemaking.
