Galaxy Digital research head Alex Thorn said the CLARITY Act faces a critical deadline in April to avoid likely failure by 2026. If the bill does not advance to the full Senate by early May, its chances decline sharply. Debates over stablecoin yields remain the primary obstacle, with DeFi rules and regulatory divisions potentially emerging as key issues. Digital asset news shows the bill’s progress is closely monitored by traders and investors. Digital collectibles news also underscores the broader regulatory uncertainty in the space.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Alex Thorn, Research Director at Galaxy Digital, said that if the U.S. Crypto Market Structure Act, the CLARITY Act, fails to pass committee review by the end of April, its chances of being enacted in 2026 will be “very low.” He noted that the bill must enter full Senate consideration by early May; otherwise, as legislative time dwindles, its likelihood of passage will continue to decline.

The report notes that current disputes over stablecoin yields are seen as the main obstacle, but issues such as DeFi regulation, developer protection, and regulatory jurisdiction may also become focal points in subsequent discussions. (Cointelegraph)
