Clarity Act — Is Crypto Finally Getting Clear Rules?
The market is red. But there's one piece of news that's being overlooked.
This week, the Clarity Act — the most significant legislation for crypto in years — has officially been placed on the voting agenda in the U.S. Senate. The next step: Senate leadership sets a date, and all 100 senators vote.
This bill addresses a question that has lingered for decades: $BTC , $ETH and altcoins — which ones are regulated by the CFTC and which by the SEC? This ambiguity is why institutional money remains hesitant to jump into crypto.
To pass, it needs 60 out of 100 votes. The current bottleneck: a group of Democrats is seeking an additional clause that bans government officials — including the President — from holding and profiting from crypto. Trump and his family have direct interests in crypto, making this a tough hurdle.
Polymarket is placing a 55% chance of passage by 2026. Galaxy Digital is betting $10M on its passage this afternoon. The practical deadline is before August — if it doesn’t make it, we’ll have to wait until after the midterm elections.
If it passes: it won’t mean a price surge on that day — but rather, the institutional capital that’s been waiting will start flowing into the market systematically. This is a long-term catalyst.
