According to ChainCatcher, Alex Thorn, Head of Research at Galaxy Research, stated that if the U.S. crypto regulatory bill, the CLARITY Act, fails to advance through the Senate committee by the end of April, its chances of passing in 2026 will significantly decline, as the bill must enter the full Senate agenda for a vote by early May. The current controversy surrounding stablecoin yields is considered the primary obstacle, but Thorn noted that even if this issue is resolved through compromise, other disputes may still arise regarding DeFi, developer protections, SEC authority, and ethics.

Summary
Galaxy Research head Alex Thorn said the CLARITY Act’s passage in 2026 is at risk if the Senate Committee does not approve it by late April. The bill must reach the full Senate by early May. Disputes over stablecoin yields remain a key obstacle, though Thorn warned that other issues, such as DeFi and SEC authority, could also delay progress. Meanwhile, BTC continues to serve as a hedge against inflation amid regulatory uncertainty. CFTC concerns are also expected to shape the bill’s final form.
