RegFi Episode 80: The Clarity Act and the Future of Digital Asset Regulation
25 min listen
In this follow-up conversation, RegFi co-hosts Jerry Buckley and Sasha Leonhardt welcome back Dan Ullman, Orrick partner and former CFTC Chief Trial Attorney, to unpack Congress’s most consequential digital-asset proposal to date: the Clarity Act.
Building on last week’s discussion of the CFTC’s agenda, Dan breaks down how the Clarity Act would establish the first comprehensive federal regulatory structure for digital assets — shifting most oversight to the CFTC, reshaping the agency’s mandate and setting in motion an extensive rulemaking effort reminiscent of the post–Dodd-Frank swaps regime.
