A field hearing in New York was held to try to move the CLARITY Act forward in the US Senate before the summer recess.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

The CLARITY Act could provide clearer rules for digital assets, helping companies know how to comply and giving investors more confidence, which may boost activity in the crypto market.

Analyst inference
