For the broader altcoin market, a delayed framework prolongs the regulatory uncertainty that has kept institutional capital cautious through a fragile summer. Trump canceled the planned signing ceremony for the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, which cleared both chambers by veto-proof margins in June, and tied the freeze directly to the stalled vot

Now, as Congress inches toward passing the CLARITY Act, a long-awaited crypto market structure bill, it seems it finally has one. The question is no longer whether lawmakers are listening to digital asset advocates, but whether the crypto lobby’s deep pockets and influence in election campaigns will be enough to get the legislation over the line. That debate comes as Senate negotiators work toward a potential floor vote before Congress breaks for its August recess. In a June 25 thread on X, Kristin Smith, president of the Solana Policy Institute and former chief executive of the Blockchain Association, argued that crypto’s advocacy operation is “the strongest and most sophisticated it has ever been.” She pointed to bipartisan negotiations, daily meetings with lawmakers, and what she descri
