Trump is set to meet the CEOs of Coinbase, Ripple, and Kraken at the White House on August 19;
Right as the bill that was supposed to hand crypto its regulatory clarity is quietly losing altitude.

The CLARITY Act cleared the House back in 2025 and has been grinding through Senate committees since.

Majority Leader John Thune has now filed cloture on H.R. 3633, leaving roughly 14 legislative working days before the October recess to find 60 votes.

Prediction markets currently price 2026 passage at only about 20%, as talks stall over ethics provisions restricting officials' crypto holdings and banking-industry pushback against stablecoin yield features.

Adding to the uncertainty, the SEC quietly postponed its August 14 "Regulation Crypto" rulemaking session; removing another expected catalyst from the calendar entirely.

The market is already pricing in the stall. $BTC is stuck at $63,000, well off its 2026 highs, while $XRP is defending the psychologically important $1 level amid thin weekend volume and continued spot ETF outflows.

Monday's meeting won't pass a law. But it will signal whether the industry's biggest names walk out reassured; or recalibrating for a longer wait. #BTC Price Analysis#
