Really, the unlock for GENIUS and for crypto at large is for the Clarity Act to pass.” Nathan McCauley ⚓, Co-Founder and CEO of Anchorage Digital ⚓️, describes why passing crypto market structure legislation is so important.

You can’t demand compliance while refusing to explain what compliance requires. miles jennings on why the CLARITY Act matters: “For the entire time that the industry has existed, it’s been very unclear whether or not digital assets have been subject to securities laws, how those securities laws apply, and how entrepreneurs can comply.” The bill creates a tailored framework for digital assets, draws jurisdictional lines between the SEC and CFTC, establishes guardrails for exchanges, and protects entrepreneurs from being unfairly targeted. “It’s targeting the key areas of uncertainty that have plagued the space for a long time, and really impeded innovation.” MTS

The SEC just submitted a new framework called Reg Crypto to the White House for review. It creates a startup exemption for fundraises under $5M with no SEC filing, a $75M annual exemption with minimal paperwork, and a graduation path for tokens to move from security status to digital commodity. Combined with the 16 coins already classified as non-securities, the SEC has effectively stopped pursuing new lawsuits. The final step is the CLARITY Act passing the Senate this month. 0:00 Intro: SEC Just Gave Crypto the Green Light 2:23 CLARITY Act vs SEC Framework vs CFTC 4:21 Four Types of Non-Security Crypto Assets 6:15 Reg Crypto: The New SEC Framework Explained 11:39 Startup Exemption: Raise Under $5M No Filing 15:33 $75M Annual Exemption With Minimal Filing 17:45 Token Graduation: Security to Digital Commodity 21:15 Real Examples: Ethereum, Solana, and Others 27:45 Why the SEC Won't Sue Anymore 31:45 CLARITY Act: The Final Piece

Today we're talking about the passage of the GENIUS Act. The "Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins Act" — which provides clear rules of the road for stablecoins in the U.S. We cover the law's implications, the recent high-stakes vote in the House of Representatives, and the bipartisan efforts to pass this groundbreaking bill. We also touch on the CLARITY Act — a major new “market structure” bill that would establish a clear regulatory framework for digital asset markets — which the House also passed with bipartisan support and which is now headed to the Senate. Here to separate the signal from the noise are members of the a16z crypto team who had a front-row seat to the action. We've got miles jennings, a16z crypto's General Counsel and Head of Policy, plus a16z Government Affairs Partners Ben Napier and Michael Reed, who are responsible for liaising with House Republicans and House Democrats, respectively.

For years, digital asset innovation has moved faster than regulation, creating uncertainty for developers, merchants, and consumers alike. The CLARITY Act aims to change that. By defining the legal status of digital assets and outlining how they should be regulated, the Act offers something the industry has long needed: a real framework for responsible innovation. This kind of regulatory clarity does more than reduce risk. It sets the stage for broader adoption, stronger consumer protections, and faster progress in areas like real-time settlement and programmable payments. In our latest blog, we break down what the CLARITY Act means for digital assets, why it matters for merchants, and how it could shape the next era of payments:

SEC Chair: Will issue crypto market rules if the Clarity Act fails to pass On July 27, 2026, SEC Chairman Paul Atkins Paul Atkins discussed the Clarity Act and the regulation of the U.S. crypto market structure during a CNBC interview. He stated that he is optimistic about Congress passing the bill, with the SEC actively assisting by answering questions and providing technical support. If Congress ultimately fails to act, the SEC is ready, willing, and able to issue rules to address the issues involved in the Clarity Act and improve regulation in other areas of the crypto market. However, Atkins believed that SEC rulemaking cannot replace congressional legislation. The crypto market ultimately still needs a statute to provide more lasting certainty and establish clear safeguards for future regulatory direction and market development.

🇺🇸 CLARITY ACT COULD REACH SENATE FLOOR NEXT WEEK, SAYS HOUSE REP. BRYAN STEIL House Financial Services Committee Chairman Bryan Steil said he’s optimistic the Senate will bring the CLARITY Act to the floor as soon as next week, arguing the legislation would finally provide long-awaited regulatory clarity for digital assets in the U.S. Speaking ahead of today’s New York field hearing, Steil said the bill would establish a framework that protects consumers, distinguishes legitimate companies from bad actors, and helps attract both financial and human capital to the United States. He also dismissed ethics-related objections, saying those concerns are another reason to pass clear digital asset rules.

This is why GameStop has the crypto investment policy and business use case for Bitcoin and stablecoins. This is why Andrew Ross Sorkin probed Ryan Cohen about tokenization. This is why Digital Assets were part of the Jefferies offering. This is why the CLARITY & GENIUS act are important for the future of $GME The DD has always been correct.

🚨 CLARITY ACT NEWS UPDATE: THE PRESSURE IS MOVING FROM TALK TO IMPLEMENTATION. 🚨 The White House just pushed back on claims that it is blocking Democratic seats at the SEC and CFTC, saying it asked for names and has not received them. Why does this matter for $XRP? Because CLARITY is not only about passing a bill. It is about having regulators ready to enforce the new rulebook after it passes. The SEC and CFTC are the referees. If digital assets finally get clear lanes, those agencies need people in the seats to define securities, commodities, and market rules. That is why this fight matters. Washington is no longer debating whether crypto exists. They are debating who runs the system once the rules arrive. For XRP holders, that is the shift. A real framework means institutions can stop guessing and start building around settlement, liquidity and tokenized value.
