TREE NEWS update: Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand said Democrats remain committed to passing the Clarity Act, calling the current setback “not the end” for the crypto market structure bill. Industry analysts, however, say it is highly unlikely the bill will pass this Congress, pointing instead to rulemaking efforts by the SEC and CFTC.
Gillibrand Says Democrats Still Committed to Passing Clarity Act
The gap between Gillibrand's stated commitment and analyst expectations is the real story: a legislative path that sponsors still describe as alive is being priced by the market as unlikely to conclude this Congress. That shifts the practical locus of US crypto market-structure policy toward the SEC and CFTC, where rulemaking can advance without a floor vote but is more exposed to leadership changes and litigation. For projects and platforms weighing US exposure, the operative question becomes which agency posture, not which statute, defines the near term. Whether the bill regains procedural momentum is the open question.
