Breaking: U.S. House Accelerates CLARITY Act—Crypto Regulation Bill Charges Forward

Washington moves at blockchain speed—for once.

The CLARITY Act just got fast-tracked through the House, signaling the biggest regulatory shift for crypto since the SEC started suing everyone. Lawmakers are finally realizing digital assets won’t vanish if they ignore them.

Why now? Election-year posturing meets institutional FOMO.

Wall Street’s been drooling over crypto ETFs while retail traders get rekt—now Congress wants a cut of the action. The bill promises ‘clear rules’ (translation: more paperwork) and ‘investor protection’ (read: compliance fees).

Pro tip: Watch the amendment process. Every lobbyist from Coinbase to Citadel will be carving out exceptions like it’s a Black Friday sale.

Bottom line: Regulation was inevitable. Whether this helps builders or just lawyers remains to be seen—but hey, at least it’s not another stablecoin hearing.
