  • [TigersPost] May 15, 2026: The Historic Passage of the CLARITY Act and the On-chain Convergence of Financial Giants

    1. Summary

    • The global Bitcoin market is at a historical turning point. Despite macroeconomic pressures—such as robust April retail sales and persistent inflation—the structural shift is accelerating. Key drivers include the bipartisan 15-9 passage of the CLARITY Act by the Senate Banking Committee and Hana Bank’s acquisition of a stake in Upbit. While prices consolidate in the short term, the SSR (Stablecoin Supply Ratio) at 9.6 signals a massive buildup of sideline capital, preparing for a structural liquidity squeeze that could drastically reduce the available Bitcoin float.

    2. ‘CLARITY Act’ (Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, H.R. 3633) Progress Stages

    • Step 1: House Passage (July 2025): Passed with bipartisan support (294-134).
    • Step 2: Senate Delay (Late 2025 – Early 2026): Faced nearly a year of stagnation and two canceled markup sessions.
    • Step 3: Intense Lobbying: Conflict between the crypto industry and traditional banking over stablecoin regulations caused the delay.
    • Step 4: White House Mediation (March 2026): A tentative agreement was reached, though initially rejected by major banks.
    • Step 5: Final Compromise (Jan – Early May 2026): Section 404 was established regarding stablecoin interest payments, clearing the path for the Senate.
    • Step 6: Senate Banking Committee Approval (May 15, 2026): Passed 15-9 with all 13 Republicans and 2 Democrats (Ruben Gallego, Angela Alsobrooks) voting in favor.
    • Step 7: Full Senate Vote (Upcoming): Requires 60+ votes to pass.
    • Step 8: Bill Reconciliation (Upcoming): Merging House and Senate versions.
    • Step 9: Presidential Signature (Upcoming): Final enactment into law.
