"My thanks go to everyone who put so much effort into the CLARITY Act— across the Administration, Congress, investors, and innovators. Our collective conviction that America must continue to lead is indispensable.

I have been unequivocal: with or without legislation, we will act decisively within the SEC’s statutory authority to deliver certainty for American investors and for the entrepreneurs shaping our technological future."

"The CFTC has submitted a proposal to the White House for the regulation of cryptocurrency transactions and markets. The document is currently in the preliminary stage, and its contents have not been disclosed."

I kind of expected this. They have been showing signs that they would go ahead and regulate the market in their own way if the bill does pass. It's not like they will do anything different, actually, but they just want the public to think they have it under control. I knew the bill wouldn't pass because there was no support in the Senate. The Democrats didn't get the clause they wanted in the bill, so there was no way they would vote for it. The simple fact that Trump is pushing for the bill is enough for them to be against it.
