Trump, Iran and Crypto Regulation: Crisis or Opportunity?
The Senate Agriculture Committee approved the "Digital Commodities Intermediaries Act" in a party-line vote of 12 to 11, a first step in the Senate to pass legislation on market structure this year. The bill's focus is on the CFTC's regulatory authority over the cryptocurrency and cryptoassets industry.
Attention will now turn to the cryptocurrency portion of the bill from the Senate Banking Committee, whose approval is unlikely until late February or March. A potential U.S. government shutdown at the end of the week could further delay the legislative process.

The SEC publishes an updated standard for tokenized securities
In its press release, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) stated that a tokenized security remains a valid security under U.S. law, regardless of how cryptocurrency records may interpret it. The agency seems to opine that, while the form of tokenized securities is changing, these assets will remain within the SEC's jurisdiction.
The new update comes at a time when the agency seeks to clarify rules regarding assets in the country. Last month, the SEC and the Federal Reserve announced key changes to their policies to promote tokenization and institutional participation in general.

The big crypto cleanup: How the CLARITY law protects your "bags" and takes out the trash
What's up, spot trading family! 👋
Yesterday we laughed for a while watching how the banks were sweating with the GENIUS Law. Today we need to get serious, but not boring, to talk about the other side of the coin: the CLARITY Law.
Do you remember the old days (about two years ago 😅) when we would wake up trembling to see which currency the SEC had whimsically targeted? What a nightmare! Well, CLARITY is the "ENOUGH!" to that era of terror.
This law is a double-edged sword, and I'm going to explain why it's the best news we could receive for those of us who truly hold.

Legislative Status of the CLARITY Act: Between Progress and Blockage
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand projects optimism about the CLARITY Act, but the 2026 legislative calendar suggests significant structural obstacles. The Agriculture Committee is scheduled to vote on the bill this January 27, focusing its jurisdiction on the CFTC. However, the paralysis in the Banking Committee (which has postponed its hearing until February or March due to negotiations over the government shutdown) keeps uncertainty about bank custody and the SEC's jurisdiction.
As the United States approaches the approval of the much-anticipated CLARITY Act, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand believes the way forward is simple.
She remains optimistic about the market structure bill, even as Democrats and Republicans remain divided over a potential ban on presidential activity with cryptocurrencies.

The SEC and CFTC of the U.S. announce a joint event on crypto harmonization
U.S. regulators, the SEC and CFTC, announced that they will hold a joint event on January 27 to discuss regulatory harmonization between the two agencies. This aims to advance the policies introduced by President Trump and solidify the country as the global capital of cryptocurrencies.
The Regulatory Limbo and the 'Cold War' of Committees
This advancement comes as crypto regulation has been stalled for months. The industry continues to await Senate committees' approval of the CLARITY Act. The banking committee's draft caused an uproar (withdrawal of support from Coinbase, disputes over stablecoins) and its review has been postponed until March. Meanwhile, the agriculture committee published a partisan draft that will be reviewed on the same day as the SEC/CFTC event (January 27).

Alert in the U.S.: The risk of a new government shutdown threatens to stall the CLARITY Act
The bill to regulate cryptocurrencies risks losing momentum as the January 30 funding deadline approaches. The U.S. government faces the possibility of a new shutdown, an event that would immediately halt any key legislative meetings or procedures.
Regulatory Stalemate at Risk
The CLARITY Act has been the main focus of the Senate. The Banking Committee continues to negotiate, and the Agriculture Committee has sessions scheduled for January 27. However, a previous government shutdown in September delayed progress for nearly two months, also affecting the SEC's review of cryptocurrency ETFs.

The CLARITY Act Advances in the Agriculture Committee in a Bipartisan Manner
The chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, John Boozman, announced an updated draft of the CLARITY Act, despite lacking Democratic support. In light of the stagnation of the Banking Committee, Boozman is pushing a version that grants primary oversight of digital assets to the CFTC and hopes for its approval next week.
The Stagnation of Bipartisanship
As the Banking Committee postpones its review (now until March) due to disputes over the performance of stablecoins and the housing priorities of the Trump administration, expert Eleanor Terrett points out that the Agriculture Committee will move forward with its bipartisan bill.

The U.S. cryptocurrency industry is awaiting clear regulation, as the Senate has postponed the hearing on the CLARITY Act again. According to the latest reports, it is likely that the market structure will be delayed until late February or March.
This delay of the CLARITY Act comes amid ongoing debate among lawmakers, industry leaders, and other key stakeholders. This measure fuels uncertainty about the possible approval of the market structure bill and its impact on the cryptocurrency market in general.

The CLARITY Act will merge traditional banking with cryptocurrencies
In the context of the World Economic Forum, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has been emphatic: the industry needs pragmatic clarity, not perfection. Garlinghouse urged to move forward with the CLARITY Act to allow innovation to flourish, while forecasting that the crypto market will reach new all-time highs this year.
The banking integration and the end of the divide
For his part, David Sacks assured CNBC that the approval of this legislation will mark the end of the separation between traditional banking and cryptocurrencies. According to Sacks, both sectors will merge into a single digital asset industry, where banks will even accept to pay yields as they fully enter the stablecoin business.

The CLARITY Act Debate and the Future of Digital Banking
In the context of the World Economic Forum, Brad Garlinghouse (Ripple) has been clear: the industry needs pragmatic clarity, not perfection. While the White House, through Patrick Witt, promotes the bill as the "best time" under a favorable administration, Garlinghouse predicted on CNBC that the market will reach all-time highs this year.
Banks and Stablecoins: One Industry
David Sacks stated that, after the legislation, banking and cryptocurrencies will merge. He predicted that banks will accept paying yields by integrating stablecoins into their businesses. Sacks recalled that, although the GENIUS Act (enacted in August) prohibits issuers from paying yields, external providers can do so, guaranteeing rewards even if the CLARITY Act faced obstacles.

The CLARITY Act Moves Forward: The CFTC Gains Authority Over Cryptocurrencies
President John Boozman accelerated negotiations following delays from the Banking Committee, publishing a new draft of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act. The bill grants the CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission) primary authority over the spot markets for digital commodities, defining most tokens as assets that are not securities.
There are differences between Boozman's draft and that of the Banking Committee, which grants more discretion to the SEC:

An analyst claims that the approval of the spot XRP ETF is imminent
In a recent post on X, ETF analyst Nate Geraci, president of The ETF Store, suggested that spot cryptocurrency ETFs are likely to gain momentum in the next two months. He emphasized that products focused on altcoins, such as Litecoin, XRP, and Solana ETFs, are about to be approved.
Geraci added that the approval of staking for existing spot Ethereum ETFs could come at any time, offering investors new opportunities to generate returns. This projection aligns with the belief that the SEC is preparing to open the doors to a wave of cryptocurrency ETFs once its final reviews conclude in October.

The U.S. Senate Banking Committee, led by Senator Tim Scott, has released the draft of the CLARITY Act. The bill covers all aspects of the cryptocurrency industry and provides guidance on how regulators should approach transactions involving digital assets.
Firstly, the bill regarding the structure of the cryptocurrency market clearly states that digital assets, also referred to as "ancillary assets," do not constitute a security and that the secondary transactions involving them are not considered investment transactions. However, a part of the bill also contemplates cases where transactions of digital assets may constitute investment contracts.
As commodities, digital assets are now also under the jurisdiction of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), instead of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Additionally, the bill addresses issues such as banking, information disclosure, and anti-money laundering guidelines, as described by the Senate Banking Committee in the principles of the CLARITY Act published earlier.
The publication of the draft for the structure of the cryptocurrency market comes just days after Donald Trump signed the GENIUS Act. As revealed by Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, the White House has also given Congress a deadline of September to pass the CLARITY Act, which will likely be added to the stablecoin legislation as the second significant cryptocurrency law.

The Senate reviews the CLARITY Act as banks push to expand restrictions
In a post on X, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong revealed that big banks are pushing to revoke provisions that protect consumers' ability to earn returns on digital assets, such as USDC. He stated that attempts to revise restrictions on stablecoin rewards contradict the legislative intent of the GENIUS Act.
Additionally, Coinbase CEO described the legislation on market structure, currently in the Senate, as an important step forward, noting that it already has bipartisan support in the House of Representatives. Armstrong warned that including yield bans would amount to bailing out banks with record profits at the expense of consumers.

The Senate Banking Committee would have chosen the deadline for the CLARITY Act
According to a report from Crypto in America, the senators of the Banking Committee chose January 15 for the approval of the cryptocurrency bill. However, the report noted that it is still unclear whether Republicans and Democrats have reached a consensus to support bipartisan approval in which senators from both parties can vote in favor of advancing the bill to the full Senate.
The review of the CLARITY Act has been postponed until next year due to several issues that have stalled negotiations between both parties. These issues touched on the performance restrictions of stablecoins in the GENIUS Act, token classification, illicit finance, and ethics in the cryptocurrency bill.

The United States House of Representatives voted to retroactively integrate the anti-CBDC bill with the CLARITY Act before sending it to the Senate. This decision comes after lawmakers decided in July to attach the anti-CBDC text to the defense spending bill. At that time, they chose not to merge it with the CLARITY Act.

🤝 TERRITORIAL WAR ENDED CFTC AND SEC SEEK HARMONY IN CRYPTO REGULATION 🚀🇺🇸
The interim chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Caroline Pham, has stated that the "territorial war is over" between her agency and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the oversight of cryptocurrencies. This announcement was made at a joint roundtable, marking a new day of collaboration. 💡
🛑 The End of Unnecessary Friction
For years, both agencies have maintained opposing positions: the CFTC argued that most digital assets are commodities, while the SEC insisted they were securities. This ambiguity has caused tremendous friction and headaches for market participants.
Pham emphasized that the lack of clarity in the "regulatory signals" had led to confrontations, but that the new phase will focus on cooperation.
"Let’s be clear: our goal is harmonization, not a merger of the SEC and the CFTC. The aim is to seize the monumental opportunity we have ahead."
This push for clarity is vital, especially as Congress works on the Clarity Act, legislation that could grant the CFTC greater authority over digital assets.
👥 An Industry-Wide Effort
The ongoing roundtable features participation from leaders in both traditional and crypto industries, including executives from Kraken, Polymarket, Bank of America, and J.P. Morgan. This underscores the seriousness with which both agencies are seeking a viable and coordinated regulatory path.
Coordination between the CFTC and the SEC is the biggest step towards a clear regulatory framework in the U.S., something essential for the massive institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies.

John D'Agostino defends the delay of the CLARITY Act
The Digital Assets Market Clarity Act, or CLARITY Act, is moving in the right direction, despite the growing impatience of the cryptocurrency industry, according to John D'Agostino
"I completely understand why this is taking longer," said John D'Agostino during an interview on CNBC on Friday.
"It's the kind of bill that, frankly, is more fundamental to the growth of cryptocurrencies or any kind of real asset," he said, emphasizing that it makes sense for the process to take some time.
