U.S. Senator warns that the CLARITY Act should be passed as soon as possible, or the regulatory window may close until 2030

U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis stated that the United States should not continue to delay the legislative process of the CLARITY Act, or it may take nearly four years to push for improvements in the regulatory framework for the cryptocurrency industry again.

She posted on social media platform X, saying, "This is our last chance to pass the CLARITY Act before at least 2030," and emphasized that "we cannot put the future of American finance at risk." The bill aims to provide a clearer regulatory structure for the cryptocurrency industry, clarifying the responsibilities of regulatory agencies to promote industry innovation and market development. With the U.S. midterm elections approaching, there are concerns in the market that congressional priorities may shift, slowing down the legislative process.

Former White House AI and cryptocurrency affairs head David Sacks also expressed support for advancing the bill as soon as possible, stating, "Now is the time for action," and anticipated that the relevant market structure legislation would ultimately be signed into law by the president. In the industry, several individuals, including Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, have recently called for an expedited legislative process, believing that clear rules will promote innovation and increase market participation. On the regulatory side, SEC Chairman Paul Atkins also expressed support for advancing comprehensive market structure legislation to avoid ongoing regulatory uncertainty affecting industry development.
