According to The Block, Bernstein analysts say the likelihood of the U.S. Clarity Act passing within 2026 is declining. If the bill fails, the SEC and CFTC will accelerate rulemaking under the Project Crypto framework, covering token classification, DeFi, and self-custody regulations, while advancing tokenized real-world assets (RWA), perpetual contracts, and prediction markets. CFTC Chair Michael Selig warned that if Congress takes no action, regulators will be forced to assume all rulemaking responsibilities. Currently, Senators Thom Tillis and Ruben Gallego have submitted a revised ethical compromise proposal, and negotiations are ongoing.
