A senior executive at a compliant platform recently discussed regulatory issues in the crypto market during an interview with a financial media outlet. He mentioned that the progress of the "Digital Asset Market Clarity Act" (CLARITY Act) has been slow, which actually "makes sense"—after all, this is foundational legislation for the crypto market structure, covering a broad scope and far more complex than the previously passed "GENIUS Act" stablecoin bill.

The executive believes that the improvement of the global regulatory framework and the competitive pressure from the US in crypto talent could be the driving forces behind the bill's passage in 2026. Sounds quite logical, right?

However, there are also different opinions in the market. Many believe that even if this bill passes, its direct impact on Bitcoin prices might not be so obvious. After all, market fluctuations are influenced by many factors; while legislation is important, it may not produce immediate results.

2026? Probably have to wait again. I've heard this kind of rhetoric too many times. CLARITY Act, take your time, anyway Bitcoin is rising on its own. Whether the bill passes or not, the market doesn't care about these political games. It's understandable that compliant platforms say this, after all, they rely on regulation to operate. Honestly, it still depends on macro factors; the bill is just the icing on the cake and can't save the market. Talent competition pressure... sounds like an excuse for lobbying oneself. I just want to know when CLARITY will really be implemented, hopefully not another three to five years like the Stablecoin Bill. A完善 regulatory framework sounds good, but execution is the key, everyone.

It's the same old story... If the CLARITY Act is delayed another two years, my stop-loss level has long been breached. From a technical perspective, this kind of expectation gap itself is a head and shoulders top pattern, which is likely to crash later. Rather than waiting for the bill, it's better to watch when the MACD golden cross truly appears, as that is the only lifeline before the danger signal arrives. Whether the bill passes or not doesn't matter to me; I have already bought the bottom at the historical high...

Wait, 2026 is so far away? Then what's the point of hype now... Honestly, it's the same old story. Regulatory good news is always a long-term expectation; in the short term, it can't really move the market. Whether the CLARITY Act is amended or not, it doesn't matter. BTC's price movement depends on macro factors and whether institutions buy in. Compliance executives' statements should be taken with a grain of salt; who trusts the interests involved? Passing the bill = price skyrocketing? Dream on, that's too naive. It's about competitive pressure and the global framework, sounds like an excuse for being late... 2026 is still far off; by then, everyone will have forgotten about this.

Still talking about the CLARITY Act? To be honest, I don't really believe in this one. Passing in 2026? Let's see how things develop next year first. Does passing a bill guarantee BTC will rise? Come on, it's mainly about macro factors and capital flows. Of course, executives at compliant platforms will say that, but the market always moves faster than policies... We've heard about improving the regulatory framework a hundred times, but the key is execution. Instead of that, focus on on-chain opportunities; waiting for the bill is never as good as bottoming out yourself. The Clarity Act is indeed complicated, but it seems the US just loves to drag out big issues like this. Will anyone really change their holding strategy because of a bill? That's hilarious. Instead of waiting for official announcements, look at which projects are quietly breaking out. 2026 is still far away; how many things can happen in the meantime...

Waiting until 2026 is too long; it's better to focus on the current market conditions first. --- No matter how good the bill is, it still needs market approval; policies alone are not enough. --- Regarding the progress of the CLARITY Act, it feels like another tactic by politicians to delay. --- Improving the regulatory framework is a good thing, but it’s still a long way from directly impacting the rise and fall of crypto prices. --- Bitcoin has already risen long ago; why wait for a bill now? Discussing this now feels a bit late. --- This executive's words sound nice, but they basically mean they don't know when it will pass. --- The US competition for crypto talent? Singapore has already won.

Basically, regulation will never keep up with the pace of the market. Passing it in 2026? By then, the market will have already shifted, haha. Waiting for legislation? Might as well wait for the next round of institutional entry. Really. Whether the legislation passes or not, Bitcoin has its own path. Regulation is always lagging behind. Regulation is one thing; retail investors bottoming out is the real deal. Don't be led astray by these news stories. CLARITY sounds very good, but we all know that policy implementation is worlds apart from market reality.

2026? Laughing to death, by then it will be hard to tell how many bull and bear cycles have passed, and regulations can't keep up with market speed—it's an old story. No matter how perfect the CLARITY Act is, it can't change the fact that it's mainly about macro and sentiment. Don't overestimate the role of policies. If the Stablecoin Act can pass, why is this one so slow? It feels like politicians don't even understand what they're voting for. The US wants to secure a position, but is it really for industry development? It's more about taxes and control—don't be too naive. Having just the bill framework is useless; the key is in the implementation details. That's where things are most likely to go wrong.
