In early August 2025, Hong Kong's RWA and stablecoin sector reached the hottest peak in the past five years.

On January 15, 2026, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee is scheduled to hold an executive meeting in Dirksen Room 538 to officially "mark up" the revised text of H.R. 3633 - the "2025 Digital Asset Market Clarification Act" (CLARITY Act). This bill marks a fundamental shift in U.S. regulatory logic: moving from the "qualitative era," which relies on administrative discretion, to the "quantitative era," based on blockchain underlying architecture. This report will deeply analyze the specific constraints of the bill on Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASP) in three core areas: asset maturity audits (KYA), stablecoin reserve transparency, and technical compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act, and assess its profound impact on industry infrastructure.

The bill's vote marks a "deep integration" of Web3 with traditional power, where cryptocurrency is no longer a utopia for tech geeks, but rather the center of real power and capital games.
