CLARITY Act Failure May Send Crypto Valuations Lower: Bernstein

Analysts say a 30% chance of passage this year leaves Ethereum, XRP and Solana without the legal clarity that could draw institutional capital.

  • With Congress departing for its August recess, the CLARITY Act faces significant delays, forcing crypto majors to grind sideways until legislative debate resumes in the fall.
  • The primary roadblock involves a package of ethics rules targeting government officials, while the bill's market structure and asset classification provisions remain far less contentious.
  • Bernstein analysts report that prospects for the legislation have deteriorated, and Polymarket traders have wagered about $3.7 million betting against passage before 2026 ends.
  • Failure to pass the bill would likely trigger an immediate negative market reaction, though analysts expect the SEC and CFTC to accelerate rulemaking under Project Crypto.
  • White House officials are weighing a bipartisan ethics counterproposal received on Thursday from Republican Senator Thom Tillis and Arizona Democrat Ruben Gallego to break the deadlock.
