CLARITY Act ‘clears key hurdle’ – White House agrees to crypto ethics deal
The CLARITY Act, a key crypto market structure bill, has cleared a major hurdle after the White House agreed with Republican senators on an ethics provision. This agreement follows concerns raised by Democrats regarding potential conflicts of interest in the industry. However, full details of the deal are not yet public, and Democrats have not yet formally reviewed it. For the bill to pass the Senate, it will require support from several Democratic senators to reach the necessary 60-vote threshold.
Despite this progress, market expectations, as indicated by prediction sites, suggest the bill is more likely to pass in early 2027 rather than before the end of 2026. The urgency for U.S. legislation is underscored by other jurisdictions like the EU and the UK finalizing their own crypto frameworks, with White House advisor Patrick Witt urging Congress to act.
