CLARITY Act Advances Out of Senate Banking Committee and Sparks Fresh Crypto Debate

The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act) has moved out of the Senate Banking Committee, prompting crypto industry figures to weigh its potential impact on U.S. regulation. A Nexo analyst said the development coincided with BTC briefly reclaiming $82,000, while Polymarket showed a 68% chance the bill is signed into law in 2026. She added that a future Senate floor vote, rather than the committee step, could be the bigger catalyst for bitcoin.
