Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong says crypto could win regardless of what happens with the CLARITY Act.
Armstrong says that if the bill passes, the industry finally gets comprehensive legislation. If it fails, he believes the SEC and CFTC are still prepared to move forward with clearer rules through the regulatory process.
That makes the September 15 Senate vote particularly important, but perhaps not quite as binary as it looks. The CLARITY Act is designed to define which digital assets fall under securities or commodities rules and which federal agency has jurisdiction.
The bigger issue is whether lawmakers can resolve the remaining political disputes.
Ethics provisions surrounding government officials' involvement with digital assets remain one of the major sticking points, while Democrats and some Republicans have raised additional concerns about consumer protection and the banking system.
For the crypto market, Armstrong's argument is simple: regulatory uncertainty may be approaching its expiration date either way.
If Congress delivers legislation, the industry gets a formal framework. If not, traders will be watching the SEC and CFTC for rules that could still reshape the market.
