The CLARITY bill hits a wall—yet the four sectors “get a head start,” instead?!
On September 15, the U.S. Senate’s procedural vote did not advance the CLARITY bill. For a time, the market thought regulatory certainty would be delayed. But on September 30, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan pointed out an intriguing observation: if the bill isn’t coming, are the advantages arriving first?
Stablecoin platforms keep their ability to offer balance rewards; exchanges like Coinbase and Kraken preserve the room to merge their exchange business with brokerage under state-level licenses; tokenization platforms obtain the SEC’s five-year exemption for stock trading, letting them test immediately; and for buyback-style tokens as of September 30—NEAR is up 104%, Uniswap up 49%, Pump up 19%, Hyperliquid up 15%... Is this just short-term sentiment, or a real “benefit” hiding in loopholes of the rules?
Hougan’s takeaway is even more worth a closer look: “Crypto sacrifices long-term certainty, but gets better rules sooner.” Does this count as another kind of winning?
With the bill stalled, the sectors move first. Stablecoins, exchanges, tokenization, and buyback-type tokens—four segments each has its own game plan. The question is—how long can this “run first, then catch up with the votes” window last?
What do you think? Let’s discuss in the comments.
