clarity

📅 January 26
Just when it seemed the United States was days away from passing the most important law in cryptocurrency regulatory history, bipartisan negotiations in the Senate unexpectedly broke down. Now, racing against the clock and before a crucial hearing this week, Democratic advisors say they are still willing to return to the negotiating table.

📖Since November, the team of Republican Senator John Boozman, chairman of the Agriculture Committee, worked in close coordination with Democratic lawmakers to draft a bill with bipartisan language outlining how regulatory functions would be divided between the SEC and the CFTC, as well as establishing disclosure requirements for the cryptocurrency market.
For weeks, according to the Democratic advisor himself, they met “with every possible stakeholder, from nine to five,” refining a document they considered an example of cooperation in Washington.
But upon returning from the year-end recess, the Democrats were met with a surprise: the Republican team had rewritten the text without them and planned to bring it to a vote on January 15.
This abrupt change shattered the dynamic of trust. Although the Agriculture Committee is seen as more collaborative than the Banking Committee, the new draft was released last week without Democratic support. Some lawmakers introduced amendments, including one related to the Trump family's crypto interests, but the lead Democratic negotiators refused to participate in the process.
Even so, they maintain that an agreement is “very close” and that they only need to return to the previous bipartisan path to finalize it before the vote scheduled for this Thursday.
Meanwhile, pressure is mounting from the White House. Presidential advisors have insisted that the bill must be passed soon to avoid losing the political momentum favoring cryptocurrencies. Analysts in Washington warn that, without this legislation, the US crypto market will continue to operate with a “structural risk premium” due to the lack of regulatory clarity.

Topic Opinion:
The most delicate issue is not that the bill will be delayed, but that trust will be broken among the teams that have been building something historic. This law needs to be bipartisan to have legitimacy and durability. If a vote is forced without consensus, the result could be a fragile, easily challenged, and politically vulnerable law. And that would be worse than having no law at all.
💬 Do you think this crypto bill should pass even if it's not bipartisan?

The U.S. Senate is set to vote today on a major crypto market structure bill, advancing long-awaited legislation aimed at clarifying how digital assets are regulated.

What the bill would do:

• Establish clear regulatory roles - grants the Commodity Futures Trading Commission expanded authority over digital commodities and spot crypto markets, reducing uncertainty around jurisdiction.

• Define asset classifications - codifies when a digital asset is a commodity or security, helping eliminate “regulation by enforcement.”

• Increase market oversight - requires exchanges, brokers, and dealers handling digital commodities to register and meet standard trading rules, improving transparency and reducing manipulation risks.

• Split regulatory responsibilities - assigns spot market and commodity oversight primarily to the CFTC while leaving securities enforcement and certain transactional rules under the Securities and Exchange Commission when appropriate.

Why it matters:

This bill - building on the Clarity Act framework passed by the House - aims to provide long-sought legal clarity and stability for crypto markets, potentially boosting investor confidence and reducing manipulation, fragmentation, and enforcement uncertainty that have plagued the industry.

Skatieties, Lummis atkal izsludina trauksmi. Viņas "Skaidrības akts" nav par vēl vienu birokrātisku iniciatīvu. Tas ir par vienkāršu, bet kritisku jautājumu ASV: vai mēs joprojām vēlamies būt spēlē?
Ideja ir vienkārša: kapitāls un prāts ienīst nenoteiktību. Kamēr ASV regulatori joprojām noskaidro, kurš ir atbildīgs – SEC vai CFTC – un piešķir retroaktīvas naudas sodus, īstie būvētāji aiziet. Infrastruktūra, uzņēmumi, investīcijas – viss plūst uz vietām, kur noteikumi pastāv, pat ja tie ir pamata. Uz UAE, Āziju, Eiropu.

Balto namu #crypto padomnieks bijušā prezidenta Donalda Trampa laikā, Patriks Vits, aicināja uz divpusēju atbalstu Senāta kriptovalūtu likumam, ko šodien izlaida #Agriculture komiteja. Komiteja gatavojas 27. janvāra atzīmēšanai Vašingtonā. Aicinājums sekoja pēc pārskatītā teksta izdošanas, kas parādījās pēc ilgstošām #bipartisan sarunām, kas neizdevās.
Patriks Vits aicina uz divpusēju atbalstu kriptovalūtu likumam
X ierakstā Balto namu kriptovalūtu padomnieks aicināja demokrātus Senāta Lauksaimniecības komitejā atbalstīt kriptovalūtu likumdošanu. Tas notika, kad viņš norādīja, ka Senāta Lauksaimniecības tirgus struktūras teksts cieši līdzinās Pārstāvju palātas #CLARITY aktam.

Cenas #bitcoin paliek sānos, kamēr neskaidrība par ASV kriptovalūtu regulējumu turpinās. $BTC cena šobrīd ir 90 000 USD diapazonā, nespējot sasniegt turpinājumu pēc nesenajiem kāpumiem, kad tās cena sasniedza stagnāciju. To nosaka nesenais #CLARITY Likuma atlikums, ko pieņēma ASV Senāts, kas radīja tirgotājiem trauksmi, nevis reakciju. Pašlaik Bitcoin cenas struktūra norāda uz līdzsvaru, nevis bailēm.

Сьогоднішній день на Всесвітньому економічному форумі в Давосі приніс низку ключових заяв, які можуть визначити вектор світової економіки та крипторинку на найближчий час. Президент США Дональд Трамп та його адміністрація зробили кілька важливих кроків.
Ключові тези:
Скасування тарифів: Президент Трамп оголосив, що не запроваджуватиме 10%-ві тарифи на європейські країни, заплановані на 1 лютого. Це рішення було прийнято після зустрічі з Генсеком НАТО Єнсом Столтенбергом, де було погоджено «рамки майбутньої угоди» щодо Гренландії та Арктичного регіону. Це зняло напругу на світових ринках, яка зростала через загрозу торгової війни.
Чітка позиція щодо крипти: У своїй промові Трамп підтвердив, що хоче бачити Америку «криптостолицею світу» і сподівається «дуже скоро» підписати відповідне законодавство, що відкриє нові шляхи до фінансової свободи.
Стратегічний BTC-резерв: Міністр фінансів США Скотт Бессент офіційно підтвердив нову політику: уряд припинить продаж конфіскованих цифрових активів і замість цього додаватиме весь вилучений $BTC до «Стратегічного резерву США». Це означає припинення тиску на ринок від періодичних аукціонів.
Прогрес законодавства: Комітет Сенату з питань сільського господарства планує опублікувати текст оновленого законопроєкту CLARITY щодо структури крипторинку до кінця сьогоднішнього дня, а голосування призначено на 27 січня. 
Ці події свідчать про скоординовані дії адміністрації. Зняття геополітичної та торговельної напруги (через Гренландію та тарифи) відбувається паралельно з активним просуванням внутрішньої крипто-реформи. Хоча й існують розбіжності в індустрії (наприклад, Coinbase відкликала підтримку законопроєкту через суперечливі положення про прибутковість стейблкоїнів), загальний напрямок вказує на створення чітких правил гри та зміцнення позицій США у цифровій економіці.

Binance, lielākā kriptovalūtu birža pasaulē, ir piesardzīga attiecībā uz atgriešanos ASV tirgū, kamēr Ripple izpilddirektors Brads Garlingsauss apgalvo, ka šī atgriešanās ir neizbēgama.
Intervijā ar CN.BC Binance līdzpriekšsēdētājs Ričards Tings paziņoja, ka uzņēmums ievēro "gaidīšanas un novērošanas stratēģiju" attiecībā uz atgriešanos ASV, kamēr Džars Garlingsauss izteica uzskatu, ka Binance pozitīvi ietekmēs tirgu, palielinot konkurenci.

The Commodity #Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has initiated a new effort to strengthen its efforts towards the reorganization of the rules that govern new financial markets. The chair of the CFTC, Mike Selig, introduced a program called Future-Proof, whose purpose is to revise the regulation of digital #assets and prediction markets.
CFTC’s Future Proof Initiative on Crypto and Prediction Markets
Selig stressed that outdated CFTC regulations are no longer applicable to the crypto market, as they were written for agricultural futures. #Prediction markets were also identified as one of the initiative’s main priorities.
According to Selig, prediction markets have grown rapidly despite a lack of clear regulations. The announcement was also centered on digital assets. Selig indicated the industry has become a global, multi-trillion-dollar industry.
He further stated that transparent regulations will safeguard investors and encourage proper industry growth. The CFTC will be guided by its Innovation Advisory Committee. The team will make policy recommendations on digital assets, prediction markets, and emerging asset classes.
Flexible Regulatory Approach
Selig also condemned earlier regulatory approaches based on enforcement measures. As part of the Future-Proof program, the CFTC is seeking a strategy that balances protection and flexibility in the market for innovation.
The initiative also noted the increased role of artificial intelligence in finance. Selig stated that round-the-clock trading has become possible through blockchain and AI. Notably, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) announced plans to adopt blockchain technology as it builds its tokenization platform for 24/7 trading of stocks and ETFs.
Meanwhile, the CFTC chair further said that disciplined, purpose-specific rules are required to maintain regulatory stability across administrations. The CFTC also intends to introduce further policy changes in the near future.
CFTC Prepares For New Cryptocurrency Regulations
Selig wrote that the CFTC needs to be prepared to assume broader responsibilities as the crypto market continues to grow. The commission will assume a greater regulatory role under the proposed #CLARITY Act, alongside the SEC, as it regulates the industry.
The chair stated that the agency is well-positioned to manage new assets developed using blockchain-based systems. The announcement comes after a period of regulatory strife between the United States’ agencies and crypto companies.
According to industry leaders like Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, the agencies have employed unclear rules that have slowed down innovation. This has pushed companies to relocate their operations outside the United States. According to Selig, the CFTC will stop regulation through enforcement.
Rather, the agency will have more purpose-specific rules that will be defined in the form of public notice and comments. The program involves a complete analysis of current CFTC regulations. Then, officials will determine what rules are still needed to safeguard markets and which are limiting innovation.

NYSE izstrādā platformu 24/7 #trading un ķēdes norēķiniem par tokenizētiem vērtspapīriem, paplašinot centienus ieviest tradicionālos finanšu produktus ķēdē. Tomēr daudzi apgalvo, ka biržas tokenizētā platforma varētu ietekmēt Layer-1 un Layer-2 projektu izaugsmi.
Kā NYSE tokenizēto vērtspapīru platforma radīs problēmas kripto projektiem?
NYSE meklē regulatīvo apstiprinājumu plānam izstrādāt platformu tokenizēto ASV akciju un ETF tirdzniecībai un ķēdes norēķiniem, ļaujot 24/7 tirdzniecību, daļējās akcijas, gandrīz tūlītējus norēķinus un stabilcoin bāzētu finansēšanu. Binance dibinātājs CZ teica, ka NYSE tokenizācijas platforma ir pozitīva kripto un kripto biržām.
