House Finance panel chair says regulator actions on crypto ‘fall short’ of CLARITY bill

Hill's remarks frame the legislative-versus-agency divide as the central fault line in U.S. crypto oversight: the committee chair is effectively arguing that rulemaking by the SEC and CFTC cannot substitute for statutory market structure. That matters because it signals House leadership intends to keep CLARITY alive as the preferred vehicle, rather than defer to the regulators. The open question is whether that ambition survives a crowded calendar and the 2027 session change, and whether agency actions continue to fill the gap in the meantime.
