Trump, Wall Street, SEC all eyeing the Clarity Act! This time it's really different

What was the past crypto regulation like?
Like several teachers invigilating at the same time, but no one told students which exam they are taking.
The SEC sues every day;
CFTC says it can also regulate;
Members of Congress argue and tweet simultaneously.
And now the Clarity Act suddenly advances, giving the entire market its first glimpse of the hope for “unified rules”.
On May 14th, after the bill was passed 15:9 by the Senate Banking Committee, the crypto community’s atmosphere instantly changed.
Why?
Because this means that inside the US, the discussion has shifted from “whether to regulate” to “how to regulate”.
The difference between the two is huge.
The former means the industry could be suppressed at any time;
The latter means the industry is already implicitly expected to exist long-term.
Many people don’t realize that this is actually one of the most important turning points for the crypto industry.
Because capital markets fear uncertainty the most.
Even with strict regulation, as long as the rules are clear, large funds are more willing to enter.
So recently you’ll notice:
Wall Street is becoming more active;
ETFs are increasing;
Traditional banks are also softening their stance.
The only reason is — they have already caught the scent of the “new era financial gateway”.
But behind the Clarity Act, there are still many difficulties.
First is the power struggle between the SEC and CFTC.
Whoever controls regulation, behind it is who controls industry influence.
This is not a technical debate, but real money.
Secondly, the US election cycle will also affect the pace of progress.
If both parties start politicizing crypto issues, the bill may face repeated tug-of-war.
But overall, I remain optimistic.
Because the US has already realized:
If regulatory frameworks continue to be delayed, innovation and capital will keep flowing out.
And now the whole world is racing for the position of digital asset center.
Singapore, the Middle East, Europe are all actively positioning themselves; the US cannot remain a long-term spectator.
So my prediction is:
There is about a 70% chance of formal legislation before 2026.
But the process will definitely be full of “Congress soap operas” — advancing today, arguing tomorrow, revising the day after, and the market soaring or crashing the day after that.
The crypto world has never lacked stories.
What’s most interesting now is:
This time, the protagonist of the story is finally not just project teams and retail investors, but the entire US financial system. #Polymarket每日热点
