    Scott Bessent Says Passing CLARITY Act Could Boost Crypto Market Sentiment

    2 Mins Read News

    US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said investor sentiment in digital asset markets could improve significantly if lawmakers pass the proposed CLARITY Act. Speaking during a televised interview, Bessent argued that regulatory certainty is especially important during periods of heightened volatility.

    He warned that delays in advancing the bill could reduce its chances of becoming law, particularly if political control shifts after the 2026 midterm elections. Bessent emphasized the importance of moving the legislation forward before the spring legislative window closes, suggesting that postponement until 2027 could derail momentum entirely.

    Midterm Elections Add Political Uncertainty

    The CLARITY Act is designed to define regulatory oversight for digital assets and clarify jurisdiction between federal agencies. Supporters believe it would reduce uncertainty for crypto businesses and investors alike.

    However, the narrow majority in the US House of Representatives and shifting midterm projections have added urgency to negotiations. Prediction markets currently indicate a strong possibility of split congressional control in 2026, increasing the risk that pending crypto legislation could stall.

    Bessent said passing the bill promptly would provide reassurance to markets and help solidify the administration’s digital asset policy framework before political dynamics potentially change.
