CLARITY bill ?

[Sanitough]

Can we discuss this bill and what good it could actually do for crypto? I already read a few things from the article, but I still don’t totally get it yet.

Mainly because I’m not from the US, so I’m not really familiar with how these laws work there. But I do know that rules or laws coming from the US can have a big impact on the whole crypto space.

So if anyone here has a deeper understanding about it, feel free to share how important this really is. I’m willing to read and learn.

Government officials, crypto leaders push for CLARITY bill passage
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has been among the most vocal proponents in recent days, urging lawmakers to move the bill forward.

Bessent previously warned that regulatory uncertainty pushed innovation to jurisdictions such as Abu Dhabi and Singapore. He also framed the CLARITY Act as a necessary complement to the GENIUS Act, which was signed into law by President Donald Trump last year.

It's the same, I'm not from America and don't fully understand. But I also created this discussion on a local forum titled [NEWS][Diskusi] – SEC Tetapkan Batasan Lebih Jelas Mengenai Crypto.. From this discussion if i am not mistake, clear boundaries will be determined for certain. Boundaries regarding crypto that are considered securities or just commodities. More specifically, the SEC categorizes them into 5 categories: Digital Commodities, Digital Collectibles, Digital Tools, Stablecoins, and Digital Securities.

The basic categories are based on characteristics, usage, and functions. So in the end, authority becomes clear between the SEC or CFTC. This Clarity Act is being proposed and I’m also waiting to see how it develops, because if not, the boundaries will remain unclear. I once read in one media source that the bill might be passed by the end of April. The document regarding the Clarity Act can be seen at https://www.sec.gov/files/rules/interp/2026/33-11412.pdf

I read that they will be the ones handling the oversight and implementation.

And from what I understand, it already passed in Congress, but the Senate still has not acted on it yet, so now they are pushing for it to get approved there too. So it looks like they want to put a clear set of rules in place for things like AML, KYC, trading, and even to prevent insider trading and similar issues.

That’s why I think it’s important for it to get approved, because if people are trading or holding Bitcoin, at least there will be clearer protection, responsibility, and proper guidance.

But I still don’t fully understand why it has not been approved yet if it is really supposed to be good for crypto. If the goal is to help innovation move forward without too much confusion or obstacles, then clear rules should already be a good thing.

CLARITY bill, maybe it will be to no one's surprise from the name itself is just make things more clearer in categorizing digital asset whether its gonna be a commodity or security.
Before CLARITY bill basically there is a large confusion about whether a digital asset such as ETH or any other in the market will be considered security or not because it implies deeper regulation complexity.

If the asset is commodity it belong to CFTC's authority and if it's a security it belongs to SEC to oversee. People said it will be a pro crypto bill, but we will see. Everyone seems to be supporting it right now.

It really is simpler than it sounds like if I'm being honest with the whole point of the bill. Correct me if i'm wrong though.

The CLARITY Bill is mainly about removing confusion in the crypto world. Right now different US regulators like the Securities and Exchange Commission and Commodity Futures Trading Commission don’t fully agree on how to treat crypto, which creates uncertainty. This bill aims to clearly divide crypto into categories so companies and investors know exactly which rules to follow. If passed it could make the market safer attract big investors and help crypto grow in a more stable and professional way not just in the US but globally This is my understanding if anyone knows better please share……

I’ve been keenly following the updates on X for a long time now. I find that Eleanor Terrett is the best for news and updates - https://x.com/eleanorterrett

I believe in the coming week The Bill will be released and I really hope Coinbase don’t screw us on this. The Clarity Act being signed into law will stop a lot of price manipulation and Bitcoin will be allowed to grow organically. Price suppression will be minimised which I think we all want.

The sticking point between Banks & Cryoto Representatives seems to be on Stablecoin Yield, with Coinbase being the main reason it has not passed yet. I wish Brian Arnstrong would get lost. I am not in Bitcoin for damn Stablecoin Yield and I’m sure the majority of us aren’t. Coinbase are looking are their own top line and not doing this for the industry. I just really hope this bill passes, it would be very bullish mid to long term.
