SEC cancels long-awaited Regulation Crypto proposal vote, postpones without new date

Aug 14, 2026 · MACRO

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission cancelled its open meeting scheduled for August 14, 2026, that was set to vote on proposing Regulation Crypto, the agency's first formal crypto-specific rulemaking. The proposal was roughly 400 pages and included several exemption pathways and a decentralization off-ramp. The SEC cited a scheduling issue and gave no new date. The CLARITY Act remains stalled in the Senate until its next procedural test in September. The cancellation pushed back the timeline for formal U.S. crypto market structure rules.
