🇺🇸 The CLARITY Act has cleared a key Senate Banking Committee vote, moving the US crypto market structure bill one step closer to a full Senate vote.
The bill is not law yet — it still needs to pass the full Senate, be reconciled with the House version, and receive the president’s signature.
Key updates in the latest draft include:
Stablecoin rewards language
Insider trading provisions for digital assets
Bankruptcy safe harbor protections
A general 360-day implementation timeline
Markets responded positively, with BTC and ETH moving higher, while some regulation-sensitive tokens saw stronger gains.
Attention now shifts to the Senate floor, where topics like DeFi, AML, ethics rules, and stablecoin rewards could influence the final version.
