House Democrats are reportedly discussing legislation that would expand the SEC’s role in crypto regulation and strengthen investor protections, drawing partly on Rep. Maxine Waters’ 2025 investor-rights amendment . Journalist Eleanor Terrett’s November 4 account describes a broader market-structure proposal with a smaller CFTC role and additional government ethics restrictions, following the CLARITY Act’s stalled advance in the Senate. Key takeaways Democrats’ discussions draw on Waters’ failed customer-protection amendment. The Senate blocked the CLARITY Act’s advance on September 15, 2026. Comments on the SEC’s custody proposal are due December 7, 2026.
