Galaxy Research Director Alex Thorn stated that the probability of the CLARITY Act passing in 2026 has been lowered to 10%. He believes that the core obstacles the bill currently faces are more political than policy-related, including ethical constraints on government officials involved in the crypto industry, opposition from the banking sector, particularly community banks, and controversies surrounding developer protection clauses.Thorn pointed out that Senate Majority Leader John Thune has scheduled the Senate to hold its first vote on the CLARITY Act after the recess ends in mid-September, but by then, the working window will only be about 2 to 3 weeks. If senators cannot immediately initiate the advancement process upon returning to Washington, the bill will likely need to occupy the entire working period to have a chance of passing in 2026.Meanwhile, the U.S. SEC had originally planned to advance two crypto regulatory measures, Reg Crypto and the "Innovation Exemption," but there has been another delay recently. Thorn believes that the SEC had previously delayed action at least partly to avoid interfering with the negotiations on the CLARITY Act, and as the advancement of the bill faces obstacles, the SEC may accelerate the independent advancement of the relevant regulatory framework. Thorn expects that regardless of whether the CLARITY Act ultimately passes, the SEC may announce the specific texts of Reg Crypto, the "Innovation Exemption," or both in the coming weeks to months.
