Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expressed optimism about the Clarity Act, a market structure bill, citing support from a group of Democrats willing to collaborate with Republicans for its passage, according to a recent CNBC interview. Key Senate Democrat Mark Warner also highlighted efforts by a bipartisan group working to advance the bill safely, reflecting the ongoing bipartisan momentum. With SEC Chair backing and ~62% prediction market odds for enactment by the end of 2026, the bill aims to stabilize volatile crypto markets by providing regulatory certainty. Meanwhile, ongoing White House meetings, particularly focused on stablecoins, continue to address specific issues to facilitate the Clarity Act’s progress.
