What happened
A year after the House passed the bipartisan CLARITY Act, a Federal Hall hearing revived the effort, but the Senate has not taken action, leaving the crypto‑regulation bill stalled.
Confirmed
Global impact / market context
Without Senate approval, the CLARITY Act cannot create a clear regulatory framework for digital assets, leaving companies uncertain about compliance, potentially slowing innovation and investment in the crypto sector.

- Statements from major crypto firms about how regulatory uncertainty is affecting their hiring, product launches, and capital‑raising plans. Proposed
- Potential introduction of alternative federal crypto legislation or amendments that could replace or modify the CLARITY Act. Proposed
