Why are traders pricing a 61% chance of Clarity Act passage in 2026? Crypto users are forecasting a 61% chance that President Trump could enact the Clarity Act in 2026, given the current regulatory alignment that was not available during prior federal administrations. Furthermore, financial regulators in the United States, led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, have urged the Senate to follow the House of Representatives in fast-tracking this bill. “Congress has spent the better part of half a decade trying to pass a framework to onshore the future of finance. It is time for the Banking Committee to hold a markup and send the CLARITY Act to President Trump’s desk. Senate time is precious, and now is the time to act,” Bessent stated on Thursday. Bessent’s stance was echoed by several top leaders, including David Sachs , the White House A.I and crypto czar, Paul Atkins , Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Mike Selig , Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), and pro-crypto Senator Cynthia Lummis . With the 2026 midterm elections scheduled for early November, the current administration is pressing to pass the Clarity Act to consolidate support among crypto-aligned voters. Additionally, the implementation of the Genius Act – a U.S. law focused on legalizing stablecoins – heavily depends on the Clarity Act getting enacted soon. As a result, prediction traders are more convinced the bill could pass key handles by December 31.
