This Friday, in an interview with CNBC, United States Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the CLARITY Act will boost investor confidence and alleviate the historic volatility currently affecting the crypto market. The Secretary emphasized that passing this regulatory framework is necessary to offer “comfort” to sector participants and allow the industry to move forward after recent periods of uncertainty and legislative stalemate.
The political context adds urgency to the measure, as the Republican majority in the House of Representatives is extremely narrow. Analysts and figures like Ray Dalio warn that if the Trump administration’s pro-crypto policies are not codified into law soon, they could be reversed following the 2026 midterm elections. Currently, the lack of consensus on the technical details of the bill has negatively impacted the sentiment of industry executives.
In the coming weeks, the market must monitor whether Congress finally sends the bill to President Trump’s desk before the spring of 2026. In the immediate term, the focus is on the balance of power in Polymarket polls, where traders are already speculating on a possible split in Congress. Achieving the presidential signature “as soon as possible” will be decisive in shielding the legal future of digital assets against a shift in political leadership.
