🔍 WINTERMUTE SAYS CLARITY ACT HAS 30% ODDS. POLYMARKET SAYS 72%. WHO'S RIGHT?
Wintermute's head of policy Ron Hammond today:
"The CLARITY Act has a 30% chance of passing this year."
Reasons: political friction, stalled negotiations, shifting timelines.
Polymarket (prediction market with money at stake): 72% odds.
The gap between 30% and 72% is the most important signal in crypto politics right now.
Who to believe?
Wintermute runs one of crypto's largest market makers:
→ Deep Washington DC relationships
→ Intimately familiar with legislative process
→ Has no incentive to be pessimistic for clicks
→ When they say 30%, they've counted the votes
Polymarket has money on the line:
→ Aggregates real financial conviction
→ Updates in real-time with new information
→ Has historically been more accurate than expert consensus
What both sides agree on:
→ CLARITY would be transformative if passed
→ The markup process starting TODAY is the right first step
→ Even partial progress unlocks significant institutional products
→ SEC Chair Atkins is the most crypto-friendly chair since the concept existed
My read: Truth is between 30% and 72%.
Watch today's markup language carefully.
Bullish wording = crypto markets react immediately.
Hawkish wording = longer road ahead.
The first draft of history starts writing today. 🎯
