🚨 CLARITY Act: The bill that could change everything for US crypto in 2026! 🚨
What is it? A landmark bill to finally bring regulatory clarity: ✅ Decentralized assets like BTC/ETH → CFTC (lighter rules, treated as commodities) ✅ Initial token sales as securities → SEC, but shift to commodity status once the network is mature
End of "regulation by enforcement" – hello clear framework that boosts US innovation!
Current status (January 2026)
Already passed the House (July 2025, strong bipartisan support)
At the Senate: markup & amendments scheduled this January (~mid-month)
Backed by the Trump administration → high odds (50-80%) of passing in 2026
Why bullish? Less uncertainty = more institutions, more alt ETFs, massive US adoption incoming.
January is make-or-break… Ready for the next regulatory leg up? 🔥
