🔥 CLARITY ACT: CRYPTO’S FINAL WINDOW IS CLOSING FAST Galaxy warns that the odds of the U.S. crypto market structure bill passing are now ~50/50 and falling fast if delays continue. The CLARITY Act already passed the House with strong bipartisan support but now it’s stuck in the Senate with major unresolved issues: • Stablecoin yield rules • DeFi provisions • Internal Republican disagreements Even if those get solved, the bill still has to pass committee, win 60 Senate votes, merge versions across committees + House, then get presidential approval. That’s a LOT… with barely any time left. Delays into May could kill its chances entirely, with odds already around ~50% (or lower depending on estimates). And if it misses this window, some lawmakers warn crypto market structure laws could be pushed back until 2030+.

What we learned at the Warsh hearing today • He's serious about his reform agenda, which extends from how the Fed does its economic analysis to how it communicates with the public • He cited inflation measures that are a bit more flattering than the "rough swag" (scientific wild-ass guess) that the Fed uses as its main benchmark • Warsh's independence argument will land uncomfortably inside the Fed and may not have helped him broaden appeal with Democrats wsj.com/livecoverage/k…
