Deep Tide TechFlow News, March 4th, reports that despite the deadlock in Congress over the Clarity Act, the Trump administration is providing regulatory clarity for the crypto industry through executive actions. Analyst Brady Dale pointed out that Trump’s appointment of Paul Atkins as SEC Chairman could be a decisive move. As a seasoned regulatory expert, Atkins explicitly stated that the SEC has the authority to establish the necessary rules for the crypto industry without waiting for legislative action from Congress.

The appointment of new CFTC Chairman Michael Selig further ensures coordination between the two major regulatory agencies. It is expected that both agencies will submit draft rules this fall and finalize them by spring 2026. This will be the first time specific regulations are created for decentralized finance networks, allowing exchanges to operate compliantly and enabling token sales.
