CoinDesk's The Policy Protocol hosts Rebecca Rettig and Renato Mariotti unpack the stalling of the CLARITY Act in the Senate before sitting down with Taylor Lindman, Chief Counsel of the SEC's Crypto Task Force, who explains why the newly unveiled innovation exemption is being resoundingly well-received across TradFi and crypto, and how much the SEC can accomplish under existing authority without Congress.

Lindman also weighs in on 24/7 markets and reassures that the Crypto Task Force's work continues regardless of Commissioner Hester Peirce's departure. Plus, Rebecca and Renato debrief on whether AI needs its own regulator, and name Demis Hassabis as their Person of the Week for proposing a FINRA-style standards body for frontier AI models.
