Why now

- Treasury Secretary Bessent and SEC Chair Atkins are publicly urging Congress to act before Senate floor time runs out.
- The 2026 midterm elections pose a risk of derailing the bill, making immediate legislative action urgent.
Why it matters
- Clear crypto regulations are critical to maintaining U.S. leadership in digital asset innovation.
- Resolving stablecoin yield disputes is essential to passing the Clarity Act and providing legal certainty to exchanges and banks.
- The bill's passage would establish durable rules, reducing regulatory ambiguity and supporting financial infrastructure growth.
