Crypto deals continue as US agencies advance policy while the CLARITY Act remains stalled
The CLARITY Act has stalled in Congress, but bankers are continuing to pursue crypto deals. CoinDesk reported that crypto M&A has reached record levels, while noting that dealmakers are weighing the effect of regulatory uncertainty [1] [2].
Phemex reported that acquisition interest may be slower for businesses facing unresolved questions about token regulation, with deal activity expected to concentrate in sectors where regulatory frameworks are established [3].
Crypto Briefing characterized regulators’ ongoing crypto-policy measures as a shift toward agency-led policy development while legislation is stalled. Phemex also reported that the SEC and CFTC have taken steps intended to support market certainty [4] [3].
