Brian Armstrong: US Needs Clarity Act to Define Crypto Rules

The push for a Clarity Act signals a strategic shift in how major US crypto players frame the regulatory debate—moving from reactive compliance toward proactive statutory definition.

The key variable is whether the legislative language gains bipartisan traction, as prior attempts at comprehensive crypto rules have stalled. Watch whether Armstrong's public advocacy translates into concrete draft provisions and whether other industry leaders align behind the same framework.
