Hot take: The Clarity Act is actually a trojan horse for TradFi. Everyone's celebrating "regulatory clarity" but nobody's asking who this really benefits.
Spoiler: It's not us.
The framework legitimizes the same gatekeepers we were supposed to disrupt. Banks get the on-ramp monopoly, VCs get preferential treatment, and retail gets KYC'd to death.
Meanwhile, the real innovation—permissionless protocols, privacy tools, DeFi primitives—gets pushed further into gray zones or outright banned.
You wanted clarity? You got compliance theater.
The irony is we're cheering for the chains being put on. But hey, at least BlackRock can custody your $BTC now 🤡
