Quite unexpected. U.S. Treasury Secretary Besent published an article in the Wall Street Journal urging Congress to immediately pass the CLARITY Act and elevate the bill to a national priority. This seems to be another strong push during the critical window at the tail end of negotiations over stablecoin interest rules. However, for the Treasury Secretary to personally step in and make a public statement during the sensitive period of the U.S.-Iran war shows he’s genuinely anxious. Currently, @Polymarket is pricing the probability of the bill passing at 59%, which sounds pretty high. But the time window is actually very tight. Galaxy Research analysts say there are only 18 working weeks left until the mid-term recess, and every week of delay compresses feasibility further. According to U.S. legislative process standards, the Banking Committee must complete the markup by the end of April; otherwise, the subsequent schedule will completely collapse (the big issue being the mid-term elections). So, April will be the critical point for whether the CLARITY Act can be passed this year. Once the bill is passed, the CFTC will gain jurisdiction over mainstream token commodities, and the final door for institutional compliance entry will truly open.
