🇺🇸 US Crypto Regulation Update: Congress Stalls, SEC Steps Forward The long-awaited CLARITY Act has hit another roadblock. Although the bill passed the House and cleared committee, the full Senate vote was postponed on August 6 and is now expected to be revisited on September 15. The market’s estimated probability of passage this year has also fallen sharply, from around 82% to just 21%. With Congress moving slowly, the SEC is taking a more active role. SEC Chair Atkins is pushing a new regulatory approach that would shift the agency away from relying mainly on enforcement and toward providing clearer rules, exemptions, and pathways for crypto businesses to operate compliantly. But there’s an important catch: the August 14 action was only about whether to seek public comments. Actual implementation could still be years away, potentially not arriving until 2027. So the immediate market impact may remain limited, but the bigger message is important: regulatory clarity could increasingly come from the executive branch even while Congress remains stuck. From a market perspective, this could favor $BTC more than many altcoins. Bitcoin already has a relatively clear regulatory identity, while numerous altcoins still face uncertainty around securities classification and potential enforcement. The short-term picture is uncertain, but the long-term regulatory direction is becoming increasingly important for crypto. $BTC $ETH #CPIEasesHikeBets #AIInfraEarningsWatch #SpaceX99%ValueFromAI
