Gold and silver pushed to new highs, while Bitcoin is gliding below recent resistance. But, again, SEC Chair Paul Atkins called this week a big week for crypto, a public signal that regulation may finally move from enforcement to structure under the Clarity Act framework.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This is a big week for crypto \u2013 Congress is on the cusp of upgrading our financial markets for the 21st century.<br \/>I am\u00a0wholly supportive\u00a0of Congress\u00a0providing clarity on the jurisdictional\u00a0split between the SEC and the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CFTC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">@CFTC<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/NtDWRW85kL\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/NtDWRW85kL<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Paul Atkins (@SECPaulSAtkins) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SECPaulSAtkins\/status\/2010850477529821664?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">January 12, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2>US Crypto Bill Progress and the Clarity Act Debate<\/h2>\n<p>The Clarity Act is designed to do something the market has waited years for.
