What is the CLARITY Act?

It's a bill to clarify crypto regs—SEC vs. CFTC turf, stablecoin rules, market structure. Aims to end the chaos.

Will Congress pass the crypto bill in 2024?

Doubtful. Midterms loom; it's a hot potato. But Bessent's push might nudge it post-election.

Why does US crypto regulation matter?

Without it, innovation leaves for friendlier shores. US risks losing billions in market share and jobs.
