senate banking committee votes on the CLARITY Act tomorrow 10:30am ET. the staking carveout defines staking as "administrative or ministerial activity," not a security. LDO, RPL, and EigenLayer go from legally ambiguous to explicitly protected if this passes committee. $31b in liquid staked ETH has been trading under regulatory overhang since the SEC started targeting staking in 2023. bill has bipartisan support, yield issue resolved, white house targeting july 4 signing. 100+ amendments filed but the staking language survived every draft. the entire liquid staking sector is priced for uncertainty that could evaporate in 24 hours

🔥🚨 BREAKING — The Senate is teeing up the Clarity Act tomorrow, and Democrats are about to have to vote on whether crypto gets a real federal rulebook or another year of fog. “The cloture motion on H.R. 3633, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, ripens Tuesday at 2:15 p.m.” It's just a procedural vote, not a ribbon-cutting, but it is still a big deal for crypto markets. Sixty votes are required to even debate a market-structure bill the House already passed. Republicans added state AG enforcement and a requirement that officials dump or place big crypto holdings in a blind trust.

LATEST: The House Ways and Means Committee votes on the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act tomorrow, a bill that would exempt crypto transactions under $10 from taxes and address staking, mining, and broker rules.

Next week is crucial for the Clarity Act The SEC and CFTC move forward on parallel rulemaking processes as the U.S. Senate schedules a September vote on the much-anticipated "Clarity Act." Tomorrow, the SEC considers a proposal for a crypto-specific offer regulation regime, while the CFTC Innovation Advisory Committee meets on Aug. 20 to set the terms of oversight for crypto derivatives and stablecoins. Regulatory developments like this ensure progress regardless of the Congressional schedule and serve as an essential link for institutional $BTC operators and RWA providers seeking to comply with federal standards.

The U.S. Senate is set to hold a cloture vote on the CLARITY Act tomorrow. John Medel, Head of Public Policy at @Injective, on the industry's role in the process: "I think it's critical that players within this industry participate in this development, making sure we have a voice and that we're heard across the halls of Washington. I think it's critical that we not just be heard, but we are part of developing the legislation and ultimately the rules that will govern this technology moving forward."

Powerful rule for life: Never make a permanent decision based on a temporary feeling. Bad days pass. Anger fades. Fear settles. Just learn to pause. Take a walk. Sleep on it. Give it a minute. You can always act tomorrow. You can't always undo a rushed decision made today.

Seems no matter what, the democrats don't want the crypto industry to have Clarity. Pass or fail, I will be streaming the Clarity Act vote tomorrow on livestream. Pass or fail, we will move forward. 🇺🇸 Pass or fail, crypto will win!
