Momentum appears to be building around the US CLARITY Act, a proposed piece of legislation designed to bring regulatory clarity to the American crypto sector. According to Senator Bernie Moreno, the bill could move through Congress as early as April, signaling a potentially pivotal moment for digital asset regulation in the United States.
Speaking during an interview at President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property in Florida, Moreno expressed optimism about the timeline. His remarks triggered a sharp reaction on the crypto prediction platform Polymarket, where the probability of the bill passing in 2026 briefly climbed to 90% before easing back to 72%.
Clarity Act: Industry, Lawmakers, and a “Path Forward”
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong also participated in the discussion, noting that representatives from the crypto industry, banking sector, and members of Congress had gathered at the World Liberty Financial (WLF) crypto forum to work toward a resolution on market structure.
Armstrong acknowledged that earlier drafts of the CLARITY Act contained provisions that raised concerns within the industry. Specifically, language that would prohibit interest-bearing stablecoins and designate the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as the primary regulator led Coinbase to withdraw its support in January. The decision reportedly disappointed White House officials, who characterized the move as unexpected.
However, Armstrong now believes progress has been made. He suggested that a compromise could deliver what he described as a “win-win-win” outcome—benefiting the crypto industry, traditional banks, and American consumers alike. A key sticking point has been stablecoin rewards, an issue Moreno described as having delayed progress but one he argued should not derail the broader legislation.
Political Landscape and Legislative Outlook
Addressing concerns about potential political shifts, Moreno dismissed the possibility that a Democratic takeover of Congress in the midterm elections would jeopardize the bill’s prospects. He expressed confidence that control of both the House and Senate would remain unchanged.
Meanwhile, White House crypto and AI advisor David Sacks had previously voiced strong confidence that comprehensive crypto market structure legislation aligned with President Trump’s agenda could pass early this year.
If the CLARITY Act advances on the timeline suggested, it would mark a significant milestone for the US digital asset industry, potentially reshaping the regulatory framework and reinforcing America’s ambition to become a global leader in crypto innovation.
