Pressure on CLARITY Act deadline dey grow as Senate dey delay U.S. crypto rules
US lawmakers dey beg Senate make dem pass di proposed "CLARITY Act" before di 2026 midterm elections as deadline pressure dey rise and di bill still stuck for di upper chamber. Supporters talk say CLARITY Act go define important parts of US digital-asset regulation and make SEC role clear versus other agencies, wey go improve compliance and reduce risk say regulation go reverse.
Senator Cynthia Lummis warn say if dem no act, e fit push timing go at least 2030, while industry people like David Sacks dey urge di Senate Banking Committee make dem move CLARITY Act forward. CFTC Chair Michael Selig and SEC Chair Paul Atkins also show say dem ready to implement if e pass, dem call "Project Crypto" as preparation work.
Di near-term wahala na how dem go treat stablecoin yields—whether companies fit pay returns to users wey hold stablecoins. Lawmakers and regulators dey argue about stablecoin yields, and if anything slip pass May, attention fit shift to campaigns, wey fit delay proper US digital-asset policy.

Neutral
Di bill fit pass na good sign for regulatory clarity, but how market go react depend wella if Senate Banking Committee momentum show before key political deadlines. The stablecoin yield palava fit scatter the negotiations, so traders dey face two-way volatility wey dey driven by headline. Net: uncertainty still high, so price impact on major crypto likely to be mixed rather than steady bullish or bearish.
