Key crypto rules meeting canceled, adding uncertainty to SEC’s crypto regulation push

Odaily News: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) today canceled a public meeting originally scheduled for Friday. The meeting was set to consider a tailored issuance regime for investment contracts involving crypto assets. The SEC cited "unforeseen scheduling issues" as the reason for the cancellation, without providing further details.
The cancellation comes after the Senate entered its August recess without holding a full chamber vote on the Cryptocurrency Market Structure Act (CLARITY Act). SEC Chairman Paul Atkins said in a CNBC interview on July 27 that if the Senate failed to pass the CLARITY Act, the SEC was "ready, willing, and able" to issue rules for digital assets.
Previously, the CLARITY Act missed its pre-recess voting window due to a dispute over which authority would hold enforcement powers over ethics provisions.
