CLARITY scorecard sept 10 i was at no on this bill passing this year, and i wrote that bills don't lose to opposition, they lose to arithmetic the cloture vote failed. 49 to 50, with 60 needed and it failed on opposition. no Democrat voted yes, they pointed at ethics and presidential crypto profits. in my post that was one item on a list of things eating floor time right result so far, wrong reason. no point for me on that one🤡 two days later the CFTC sent its own crypto rule to the White House. what got filed, as far as anyone can see: 🔸 stage: prerule, text sealed until the review ends 🔸 still ahead: two comment periods, two White House reviews 🔸 earliest binding rule: late 2027, per 24/7 Wall St. 🔸 spot for digital commodities: still needs Congress my bet, and it's only a bet: this rule lands before any new CLARITY vote, and still not before late 2027 me: BNB and stables, no $BTC not moving anything on this $BTC is at 81,676, up 5.0% on the week. didn't wait for the Senate when the text goes public i'll read all of it and post what's inside. follow for that one, somebody has to read a sealed rule the day it unseals) #Clarity #CFTC
CLARITY scorecard

sept 10 i was at no on this bill passing this year, and i wrote that bills don't lose to opposition, they lose to arithmetic

the cloture vote failed. 49 to 50, with 60 needed

and it failed on opposition. no Democrat voted yes, they pointed at ethics and presidential crypto profits. in my post that was one item on a list of things eating floor time

right result so far, wrong reason. no point for me on that one🤡

two days later the CFTC sent its own crypto rule to the White House. what got filed, as far as anyone can see:

🔸 stage: prerule, text sealed until the review ends
🔸 still ahead: two comment periods, two White House reviews
🔸 earliest binding rule: late 2027, per 24/7 Wall St.
🔸 spot for digital commodities: still needs Congress

my bet, and it's only a bet: this rule lands before any new CLARITY vote, and still not before late 2027

me: BNB and stables, no $BTC
not moving anything on this

$BTC is at 81,676, up 5.0% on the week. didn't wait for the Senate

when the text goes public i'll read all of it and post what's inside. follow for that one, somebody has to read a sealed rule the day it unseals)

Kraken co-CEO David Ripley said that U.S. crypto regulation is “adversarial,” and that it’s not as pragmatic as Europe. Europe is moving from following the U.S. to leading the way, and it has drawn a comparison between MiCA and the CLARITY bill that the U.S. just saw collapse, praising MiCA for setting clear rules for the industry. Kraken itself obtained an MiCA license from the Central Bank of Ireland starting in June 2025, covering all 30 EU countries. Coming from the mouth of a trading-exchange CEO who has already benefited from Europe’s regulatory regime, the statement sounds more like an advertisement for its own regulatory environment. The report also doesn’t provide specific token, enforcement, or fund-flow data. For ordinary users, this information is more suitable as an observation of industry policy, not as a basis for taking action in any given direction. #欧洲央行启动区块链欧元结算 #南非拟将加密纳入外汇管制 #Clarity #MiCA

Saw it in Golden Finance (CryptoSlate): In the Senate final draft of CLARITY, there’s actually a crypto ethics clause written in—presidents, vice presidents, senior officials, members of Congress, as well as the officials themselves and their spouses, who hold equity in companies that issue/sponsor digital assets exceeding about $15,000 must either sell it or place it in a qualified blind trust; holdings by adult children are not covered. The target is also quite narrow: it only focuses on equity in companies whose primary business in the first three calendar years is issuing tokens/sponsoring digital assets—tokenized traditional assets don’t count. The bill didn’t make it through on September 15, so this provision never became law either. The report specifically names Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick—he transferred his Cantor Fitzgerald interests into a family trust whose beneficiaries are his adult children; after October 2025, he would no longer beneficially own the assets, yet the family still remains exposed to Tether-related business. Some Democrats are reportedly unwilling to sign due to the “adult-child gap.” The rule covers the individual and their spouse, but not the next-generation trust—this loophole on conflicts of interest means that even if the bill is revived, it will still be scrutinized. #加密监管 #CLARITY

The regulatory boot hasn’t landed, yet the market is partying first. After the CLARITY Act failed, the total crypto market cap was forced into an additional $21 billion. The bill’s demise equals a regulatory vacuum—over-the-counter capital immediately treats it as good news and rushes in early. But don’t get too excited: the most ruleless bull markets are often the ones that come due in the autumn. What’s rising here is expectation, not fundamentals. Before chasing higher prices, think about who will be left holding the bag. $BTC $ETH #CLARITY

Just got this: Bitmine chairman Tom Lee said that even if the “CLARITY Act” doesn’t pass, the crypto market could still keep rising—he cares more about demand itself rather than a single piece of legislation. The gist is roughly this: CLARITY was meant to lay out the framework clearly and pin down the CFTC’s responsibilities; even if it fails, the SEC and CFTC will still be the main federal regulators. He also gave examples like prediction markets and sports markets, saying that when regulation is unclear, these sectors can still grow. $ETH #CLARITY #regulation

U.S CLARITY Act Stalls in Senate — Is a 2027 Revival Coming?

The U.S. Senate has blocked the CLARITY Act from advancing after a key procedural vote ended 50–49, below the 60 votes required to move the bill forward. The vote was a setback for the proposed digital-asset market-structure framework, but it does not permanently prevent the legislation from being reconsidered.
🔄 Kevin O’Leary Expects Another Push
Shark Tank investor Kevin O’Leary has said he expects the CLARITY Act issue could return to Congress in the first or second quarter of 2027, as crypto companies and investors continue pushing for clearer digital-asset rules.
💰 A Separate Crypto Tax Bill Moves Forward
While the CLARITY Act stalled, the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act (H.R. 10357) advanced through the House Ways and Means Committee with a 38–5 vote on September 16.

🔹 Mining & staking tax treatment
🔹 Crypto lending and accounting rules
🔹 Wash-sale and other anti-abuse rules
🔹 Digital-asset broker reporting
🔹 Stablecoin transactions
🔹 Reducing unnecessary tax-reporting burdens
One part of the broader tax proposals addresses small digital-asset transactions and network fees, with lawmakers seeking to reduce reporting burdens for low-value transactions.
📊 What This Means for Crypto
The latest developments show that U.S. lawmakers are still actively working on cryptocurrency legislation, even after the CLARITY Act failed to clear its Senate procedural hurdle.
For exchanges, blockchain companies, investors, miners, and everyday crypto users, the eventual shape of U.S. legislation could affect market structure, taxation, reporting requirements, and regulatory clarity.
However, no comprehensive U.S. crypto market-structure law has been approved yet.

BTC The law CLARITY gets stuck; the SEC moves first directly! Paul Atkins officially pushes forward the Innovation Exemption. Some operations involving tokenized U.S. stock actions on-chain first obtain a temporary 5-year waiver! Trading venues and some liquidity providers receive exemptions from conditions. The tokenization of U.S. stocks has already moved from discussion to the phase of regulatory testing! This Innovation Exemption—that is, the innovation waiver—allows tokenized TSV stock trading venues that meet the requirements not to be considered, for the time being, traditional stock exchanges; in addition, some liquidity providers may also obtain an exemption from the concept of “dealers” (merchants). However, entry still requires authorization: what can be traded must be real tokenized stock rights, preserving rights such as dividends and voting. “Synthetic stock” tokens that only track the price are not included. At the same time, the company has the right to object to third parties placing their shares on these platforms for trading. The rules against fraud and against manipulation continue to apply in full.

Just got it: after the Clarity Senate procedural vote failed, both CFTC Chair Selig and SEC Chair Atkins weighed in—legislation is temporarily stalled, and regulators plan to keep pushing crypto rules using existing statutory authority. Selig said the commission is “ready to issue rules”; Atkins wrote that it would “act decisively whether there is legislation or not,” and added a “stay tuned.” There will be only a narrow window for another vote this year, and afterward they’ll most likely focus even more on the two parties’ rulemaking. #加密监管 #Clarity $BTC

#bitcoin #Altcoin #xrp #Clarity #SEC The Senate rejecting the CLARITY Act is a major setback for the crypto industry in the U.S., but it’s not the end of the world — especially for Bitcoin. Bitcoin BTC hardly needs this law. Most regulators and institutions already treat it as a commodity. The CLARITY rejection may even strengthen the narrative that Bitcoin is “different” from altcoins: more mature, more decentralized, and less dependent on clear U.S. regulatory guidance. In the short term, the price can still swing (as it already has), but structurally, Bitcoin remains relatively shielded. Altcoins This is where the story changes. Altcoins (especially those still in the grey zone between security and commodity) were the big beneficiaries. CLARITY would have provided a clearer path for tokens like Solana, XRP, and many others to escape legal uncertainty. Without the law, they remain more exposed to aggressive SEC interpretations and greater uncertainty. That’s why the meme makes so much sense: Bitcoin fine on the throne, altcoins panicking. Big picture - Short term: negative for market sentiment, especially for alts and for listed crypto companies (Coinbase, etc.). - Medium term: the SEC and the CFTC will keep trying to regulate on their own. Something better or worse than CLARITY could come out, depending on who’s in charge. - Long term: clear regulation in the U.S. will still happen. It just will take longer and will likely come in a more fragmented way. Opera summary: Bitcoin comes out relatively unscathed (as always). Altcoins and the rest of the industry feel the hit more. The rejection shows that the U.S. Congress is still far from being able to pass crypto legislation cleanly and quickly. And you, what did you think of the outcome? More worried about the alts, or do you think the market has already priced it in?
