21:23 new brief: crypto firms prepare for agency-led rules while legislation stalls

The industry still wants statutory clarity, but regulators may define the next practical steps. Added as a separate September 21 update.

With major legislation uncertain, exchanges and issuers are focusing on what agencies can do now. That means custody rules, disclosures, market surveillance and token classification remain central planning points. This added item is written as a separate current update for 21:23: it keeps the factual topic, changes the wording and adds a fresh editorial angle for readers.

The newsroom added this as a new original brief without copying source wording or repeating earlier text.
