MicroStrategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor stated on September 16 that U.S. regulators will advance digital asset rules. He anticipates this will occur using existing laws, without new legislation like the stalled CLARITY Act. Saylor believes the SEC, CFTC, and Treasury Department possess sufficient authority to create the necessary frameworks.
Saylor predicts this regulatory clarity will enable traditional banks to expand into Bitcoin custody and collateralized lending services. He also highlighted the GENIUS Act as a potential catalyst for stablecoin adoption. This adoption would further bridge traditional finance with digital assets, encouraging banks to build out their crypto infrastructure.
