U.S. Senate to Review Landmark Crypto Regulation in 2026
The CLARITY Act, poised for Senate review in January 2026, marks a pivotal shift in U.S. cryptocurrency regulation. Announced by White House advisor David Sacks, the bill seeks to resolve long-standing ambiguities by classifying digital assets as securities or commodities. This legislative effort aims to delineate regulatory authority between the SEC and CFTC, addressing jurisdictional overlaps that have stifled industry growth.
Market participants view the Act as a potential catalyst for institutional adoption, with implications for trading platforms and asset valuations. The timing aligns with escalating global competition for crypto market dominance, positioning the U.S. to reclaim leadership through regulatory coherence.
