CLARITY Act TL;DR

The CLARITY Act is the next big piece of U.S. crypto regulation designed to lay out clear rules for exchanges, market-makers and trading venues—similar to how the GENIUS Act tamed stablecoins this summer and sent ETH up 50% (with Solana riding shotgun). Lawmakers are debating its details now, and if it passes, it could spur another round of altcoin rallies by giving projects a transparent path to compliance and institutional backing.

But what if it doesn’t? Expect fresh uncertainty, throttled liquidity and a big “wait-and-see” vibe across smaller tokens. The bill’s supporters argue it’ll boost investor confidence and market efficiency, while skeptics worry about stifling innovation with red tape and hefty compliance costs. Stay tuned for a Senate vote—you might want to strap in your altcoin portfolio.
