Clarity Act faces resistance in Washington

Frank Chaparro reports that the CLARITY Act has encountered significant roadblocks in Washington, as ethics concerns and opposition from the banking lobby complicate its progress.

Despite these challenges, Kristin Smith, president of the Solana Policy Institute, maintains that the bill is still alive and has not been defeated.

Chaparro recently reported that DeFi exploits rose to a record 92 incidents in the second quarter of 2026, according to DeFiLlama data. In a separate development, he highlighted BlackRock’s view that investor sentiment toward bitcoin is improving as the asset decouples from AI stocks in recent coverage. These updates come as policymakers continue to debate digital asset regulation.
