Reports indicate investment bank TD Cowen warned the CLARITY Act may not pass until 2027 and could take effect in 2029.<\/p>\n

Lawmakers And Deadlines<\/h2>\n

The bill\u2019s timetable is tight. Alex Thorn of Galaxy Digital said if the CLARITY Act<\/a> doesn\u2019t clear committee by the end of April, the chances of passage in 2026 fall sharply.<\/p>\n

Senate leaders have signaled other items will take priority on the floor, leaving little room for a complex compromise.<\/p>\n

Debate over stablecoin rewards is where many expect the fight to play out. Banks and crypto<\/a> firms remain divided on whether yielding rewards via stablecoins undermines traditional banking models.<\/p>\n

Some lawmakers and lobbyists are already trading hard lines; compromise will be needed for any bill to move.<\/p>\n

if CLARITY doesn\u2019t pass committee by end of april, odds of passage in 2026 become extremely low. this needs to hit the senate floor by early may\u2026 floor time is running out and odds diminish every day that passes<\/p>\n

the framing right now is that the dispute over stablecoins\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/tEejEsmUi9<\/a><\/p>\n

A Senior Lawmaker Said Both Sides Would Have To Give Ground<\/p>\n

Officials said members of the Senate Banking Committee expect give-and-take. A top Democrat on the panel warned that neither side is likely to be fully satisfied but that negotiations must continue for progress.<\/p>\n

Timing is also a political problem. One senator has publicly said the chamber won\u2019t act before April because it has other priorities, and that squeeze on the calendar makes a late push risky.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has criticized banks for slowing the bill\u2019s progress<\/a>, adding public pressure to move the measure.<\/p>\n

Crypto Regulation: Timing Could Stretch Years<\/p>\n

Some analysts expect the process to stretch past the next election cycle if consensus can\u2019t be reached soon. That prospect raises the possibility that a market-structure package could be delayed for multiple sessions of Congress, or reworked under new leadership.<\/p>\n

According to statements from a crypto-friendly senator, there\u2019s still hope the bill can clear Congress by April \u2014 but that hope depends on quick committee action and compromises on key items.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s At Stake<\/p>\n

The bill\u2019s outcome matters far beyond Washington. Clear rules could change how institutions engage with crypto, how exchanges operate, and how stablecoins are treated.<\/p>\n

For now, the clock is the clearest fact: if the CLARITY Act doesn\u2019t move fast, its path will get harder, and its timetable could stretch into the next Congress.<\/p>\n
