CLARITY ACT
Are you Bullish or Bearish?
Tomorrow (January 27, 2026), the Senate Agriculture Committee is scheduled to hold a markup hearing on its version of the crypto market structure bill, often referred to in the context of the broader Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act) or related drafts like the Digital Commodity Intermediaries Act.
This is a key step in the long-awaited push for comprehensive U.S. crypto regulation, following the House’s passage of similar legislation (like the CLARITY Act) in 2025. The bill aims to clarify jurisdiction between the SEC and CFTC, define digital assets (e.g., treating many as commodities rather than securities), provide regulatory clarity for exchanges, brokers, and developers, and potentially boost adoption by reducing uncertainty.
Key highlights for crypto enthusiasts:
• It builds on the momentum from the GENIUS Act (stablecoin framework signed into law in 2025).
• The Senate Agriculture Committee’s draft leans more pro-crypto/Republican-aligned, focusing on commodities oversight via CFTC and avoiding some controversial Banking Committee provisions (like stricter stablecoin yield restrictions).
• Frontline developers and decentralized platforms could see lighter regulation.
• A successful markup could advance the bill toward full Senate consideration, though bipartisan support remains a hurdle amid ongoing debates.
This could be a pivotal moment—potentially bringing the U.S. closer to becoming the “crypto capital of the world” with clearer rules that attract innovation and institutional money. Watch for amendments, debates, and outcomes; delays have happened before due to weather/politics (e.g., recent postponements), but optimism is high from industry voices.
