Galaxy cuts CLARITY Act passage odds to 60% as clock ticks

Galaxy Digital has lowered the odds of the CLARITY Act passing the Senate this year to 60%, down from 75% previously, as the legislative window narrows ahead of the November midterm elections.

The CLARITY Act, a key piece of crypto legislation, faces a tight timeline in the Senate. Galaxy Digital noted that lawmakers have limited working days before the election, and the time required to refine and advance the bill is quickly diminishing. The reduced probability reflects growing uncertainty about whether the bill can secure enough support and floor time before the session ends.

For cryptocurrency traders, the fate of the CLARITY Act is significant because it could provide regulatory clarity for digital assets in the US, potentially boosting institutional adoption and market sentiment. A failure to pass would likely prolong the current regulatory uncertainty, which has been a headwind for the sector.

Looking ahead, the key dates to watch are the remaining Senate working days before the midterm recess. Any signs of bipartisan progress or scheduling of a vote could shift odds quickly. Conversely, if the bill stalls, attention will turn to the post-election lame-duck session or the next Congress for another attempt.
