Coinbase Chief Executive Officer Brian Armstrong expressed disappointment after the CLARITY Act failed to advance in the U.S. Senate, but said regulatory clarity for digital assets will still emerge through the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

In a post on X on September 15, Armstrong wrote that it was disappointing the CLARITY Act did not move forward in the Senate that day. Bipartisan talks are continuing and the bill could still be revived, he wrote, but added that the industry can no longer wait for Congress.

Armstrong said the SEC and CFTC already have the tools they need under existing authority to create clear rules for digital assets. He expects the agencies to begin that work in earnest.
