Compared with BTC, the impact of the U.S. <q>Clear Act</q> on ETH has been more complex and has been more obstructed.
Ethereum is not only a cryptocurrency asset, but also critical infrastructure for DeFi, stablecoins, staking, and on-chain finance. The bill was originally meant to clearly define the regulatory boundary between the SEC and the CFTC, provide protections for certain non-custodial software developers, and specify what risk-management responsibilities the intermediaries connecting to DeFi protocols need to assume.
The failure of the program vote means these issues will remain in a gray area. Development teams, trading platforms, and institutional investors still have to grapple with uncertainties such as whether staking constitutes a security, whether a DeFi front end falls under the scope of a financial intermediary, and which regulator token listings should be subject to.
In the short term, ETH may face a higher regulatory discount than BTC; in the medium term, it remains to watch on-chain activity, stablecoin supply, ETF flows, and the ETH/BTC exchange rate. Investors can follow ETH market updates and changes in market capital flows through BiyaPay.
This vote did not deny the Ethereum ecosystem, but it delayed the compliant path for the U.S. market. If macro liquidity continues to tighten, ETH’s volatility may still be higher than BTC.#ETH #以太坊 #加密行情 #美联储 #BiyaPay
