Why April 13 Will Decide the CLARITY Act’s Fate

CLARITY Act negotiations have entered a narrow Senate window as lawmakers weigh whether to move the bill before May, when the congressional calendar tightens and midterm politics begin to dominate. The bill already passed the House by a 294-134 vote and aims to create a statutory framework for U.S. crypto regulation. Recent Senate activity, a new stablecoin yield compromise, and a House hearing on tokenization have added momentum. However, the timeline is still compressed, and a number of unresolved issues could still push back the next step.
