CLARITY Act never get full Senate floor vote yet: the Senate Agriculture Committee don approve its part, but the Senate Banking Committee never schedule any markup.

Neutral
Coinbase CEO dem renewed support for di CLARITY Act plus di Treasury Secretary Bessent push show say regulators dey move toward clearer market structure. Dat kin normally good for sentiment and fit eventually support compliant business activity (and by extension, demand for regulated products like stablecoins).
But di CLARITY Act still get short-term wahala: Senate Banking Committee never set markup date so timing risk still dey. Unresolved details — especially stablecoin-related yield, plus ethics rules and tokenized equities — fit delay implementation or make market price am with caution. OCC approval for Coinbase trust charter supportive, but e no remove legislative calendar uncertainty.
Net effect on price for di mentioned crypto assets na mixed: gradual “headline-positive” regulatory drift, balanced by legislative timing and stablecoin feature uncertainty, keeping di impact closer to neutral rather than clearly bullish or bearish.
