🔔 JPMorgan: CLARITY Act negotiations have entered final stages, with disputes narrowed to 2-3 core issues Huoxing Finance reports that on April 16, JPMorgan analysts stated that negotiations for the U.S. Cryptocurrency Market Structure Act (the CLARITY Act) have entered their final phase, with both sides reaching compromises on the remaining few contentious points. Disputes have been reduced from over a dozen to just 2–3 core issues, with discussions on stablecoin rewards described as “in good shape.” While banks remain concerned about stablecoins offering deposit-like yields, an overall bipartisan compromise is emerging. JPMorgan believes “there is no perfect bill,” and if passed, the legislation would provide critical regulatory clarity for integrating digital assets into the U.S. financial system. The Cryptocurrency Market Structure Act is currently in advanced negotiations in the U.S. Senate, with Senate staff indicating the draft is “very close” to resolution, though the final text has not been released and no formal vote has been scheduled. Key remaining disagreements center on stablecoin rewards, DeFi regulation, and token classification. Although optimism is rising, the bill still faces risks of delay due to the 2026 midterm elections, potentially entering a more uncertain political environment. If ultimately passed, the bill would delineate regulatory authority between the SEC and CFTC, establishing a long-term regulatory framework for stablecoins, DeFi, and the broader crypto industry. https://t.co/amsqrFKyrb
