This resource center contains links to congressional proposals, agency rulemakings and other helpful materials related to the regulation of crypto assets.
Crypto asset regulation has moved from the horizon to reality. Congress enacted the GENIUS Act—the first federal law to regulate payment stablecoins—and has pursued comprehensive market structure legislation. At the same time, the SEC and CFTC have taken significant steps to clarify the application of federal securities and commodity laws to crypto assets through joint interpretive guidance and tailored rulemaking proposals. The drawers below contain links to these legislative and regulatory developments, as well as helpful summaries and comparisons, sorted by topic area.
