TL;DR

After last summer’s GENIUS Act set stablecoin rules and sent ETH + SOL on a tear, crypto traders are eyeing the CLARITY Act as the next big catalyst. It’s a bill designed to spell out market-structure basics—think clear definitions for tokens, listing rules, centralized clearing requirements and oversight—so everyone knows where they stand.

If the CLARITY Act passes (likely late 2024 or early 2025), it could supercharge altcoin rallies by removing regulatory guesswork. If it stalls, expect continued uncertainty, possible lulls in new token launches and innovation slowdowns. Critics also warn it might add compliance costs that favor big players over upstarts.
