U.S. Crypto Lobby Urges Congress for CLARITY Act Approval

Coinbase’s lobbying group Stand With Crypto, joined by other crypto firms, calls on U.S. House members to pass the CLARITY Act next week.

The CLARITY Act aims to provide a definitive legal framework for digital assets, potentially inviting higher institutional investment and fostering innovation within the U.S.

Coinbase Leads Push for CLARITY Act Passage

Stand With Crypto and Coinbase are among the principal actors advocating for the CLARITY Act’s swift passage. This legislation seeks to address the current regulatory uncertainties in the crypto industry. With clear guidelines, U.S businesses and investors would gain confidence in their crypto dealings.

The potential impact of passing the CLARITY Act includes opening avenues for new institutional participation. A clearer regulatory framework may facilitate increased venture investment, encourage bank onboarding, and enhance collaborations with traditional finance entities. The clarity would also likely bring about a stronger market positioning for major assets like BTC and ETH.

Notable reactions include support from government officials. Former SEC Commissioner Elad Roisman emphasized, “Digital assets have emerged as a new and growing asset class over roughly the last 15 years—a byproduct of financial innovation and increasing retail and institutional interest.” Public advocacy from Stand With Crypto and company statements have been pushing for comprehensive crypto legislation, urging prompt legislative action.

Market Outlook and Expert Analysis Amid CLARITY Act Debate

Did you know? The FIT 21 Act‘s passage sparked significant market optimism, evident in increased TVL and engagement from traditional finance institutions, setting a precedent for potential CLARITY Act impacts.

Bitcoin (BTC), currently priced at $107,981.14, holds a market cap of $2.15 trillion, showing a slight daily decline of 1.11% but a 41.09% increase over 90 days. Signifying robust market influence, BTC’s trading volume reached $45.37 billion, reports CoinMarketCap. Ethereum and USDC could also react similarly to improved regulations.

Insights from Coincu research indicate that if the CLARITY Act passes, we will likely observe a favorable regulatory roadmap leading to significant gains in investment attraction and technological advancement. This would potentially reinforce the U.S. position in global crypto leadership.
