Galaxy Digital Lowers CLARITY Act Passage Odds to 50% on Senate Schedule Crunch

Galaxy Digital has reduced its odds of the CLARITY Act, a comprehensive crypto market structure bill, becoming law in 2026 to 50%, down from 75% in May and 60% earlier in June. The downgrade reflects growing concerns over Senate floor time constraints before the August recess. Analysts attribute the delay to competition from a contested housing bill and an elections measure, not a rejection of the bill's content. Without a unified Senate text or firm schedule, the bill risks slipping into a complex mid-term election environment. However, odds could recover if a final text emerges in July. The bill, which passed the House in July 2025 and cleared the Senate Banking Committee in May, would establish a U.S. digital asset framework dividing oversight between the CFTC and SEC. It remains a key domestic policy catalyst for crypto markets, but faces political hurdles including Democratic opposition over ethics and stablecoin provisions.
