U.S. Treasury Expands OFAC Powers to Sanction Iran's Entire Digital Asset Industry

Odaily News: Bitcoin News posted on X that the U.S. Treasury Department has expanded sanctions against Iran to include the country's entire digital asset industry, allowing OFAC to take action against industry operators regardless of their location. The measure took effect on Aug. 24 and also covers gold, shipping, aviation, and technology. Elliptic tracking found that the Central Bank of Iran has acquired at least $507 million in USDT; Tether froze $344 million in USDT related to the bank in April. Iran also obtains crypto assets through Bitcoin mining, which Elliptic estimates accounts for about 4.5% of the global total, generating hundreds of millions of dollars in crypto assets annually. The measure does not automatically sanction all Iranian cryptocurrency users, but it gives the U.S. Treasury broader authority to target the industry and supporters of designated entities.

CLARITY Act Faces Potential Rewrite or Stalemate by 2027 if Not Passed in 2026

Odaily News: The U.S. Senate plans to hold a cloture vote on the CLARITY Act for Digital Asset Market Structure on Tuesday, requiring 60 votes to end the filibuster. If it fails to advance with a three-fifths majority, fewer than 36 legislative days remain before 2027.

Senator Cynthia Lummis, a supporter of the CLARITY Act, said on Sept. 6 that if lawmakers cannot reach an agreement and send the bill to the President for signature, the next real opportunity for passage may not come until 2030. The 2026 midterm elections will see all 435 House seats and 33 Senate seats up for election.

Regardless of whether Democrats regain control of one or both chambers of Congress in the midterms, the White House will remain under Republican control until January 2029, and the President could veto related legislation. Paul Atkins, nominated to chair the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and Michael Selig, nominated to chair the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), have both indicated that if the CLARITY Act does not advance this year, they will continue to pursue digital asset regulation.
