🔥 CLARITY Act odds crashed from 82% to 5%, and now $USDT’s issuer is under WSJ scrutiny. So who is actually running US crypto policy while $BTC tests $80K ? Patrick Witt’s White House detail ended Oct 14 with no named successor, the third top crypto official to leave this year after David Sacks in March and Witt’s deputy in July. The Senate bill stalled after failing its Sept 15 cloture vote, and the Senate doesn’t reconvene until Nov 9, after the midterms. Meanwhile, the WSJ reports Tether paid about $6.3M to Nxum, a firm co-owned by former White House crypto chief Bo Hines, while he helped shape the GENIUS Act. Nxum says he was uninvolved and received no Tether money in office. For now, the SEC and CFTC are writing rules on their own, and neither has a White House nominee. Stablecoin yield and ethics rules remain the sticking points. CPI is driving the price today, but this is the slower risk: regulatory fog with nobody at the wheel. #BTC Price Analysis# #CMC Quest: Earn Rewards# #Macro Insights#
