According to a Forbes article, the legislative game of the US cryptocurrency industry in Washington in 2026 has entered the second half. At present, the lobbying core is focused on the Senate's CLARITY Act, as well as the PARITY Act branch involving cryptocurrency taxation and the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA) protecting developers. Given that this Congress has only about 40 legislative days left, it is highly likely that the above-mentioned bill will need to be bundled into the year-end budget bill before it can be passed. At the same time, the CFTC's severe lack of commissioners (4 people missing) has hindered decision-making. The most significant variable is that two long-time staunch defenders of the cryptocurrency industry - SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce and Senator Cynthia Lummis - have announced their retirement, adding great uncertainty to the future prospects of compliance and bipartite lobbying. https://(wublock123.com)/news/forbes-washington-crypto-legislation-second-half-clarity-act-lobbying-officials-63346
