régulation

For years, the regulatory haze in the U.S. has been one of the biggest roadblocks to institutional adoption of crypto. That might be coming to an end. The CLARITY Act just passed the Senate Banking Committee. Here's what it changes concretely — and why it matters to you.

📋 WHAT'S THE CLARITY ACT?
The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act) is the most serious piece of legislation ever introduced in the U.S. Congress to regulate crypto-assets. It passed the Senate Banking Committee on May 14, 2026. Next step: merging with a similar text already voted on by the Senate Agriculture Committee, then a full Senate vote.

Senator Elizabeth Warren just dropped a bomb at an event at the Vanderbilt Policy Accelerator. Her message is clear: the current explosion of artificial intelligence bears "striking" similarities to the 2008 financial crisis. According to her, a single misstep from the sector could trigger a devastating domino effect on banks, pensions, and insurers.
The mirage of debt and the opacity of credit
Warren's pointing out a major imbalance. AI companies are spending and borrowing at a record pace, far outstripping their actual revenues.
