CLARITY Act’s Chances Narrowed to 10% Despite White House Meeting This Week
The Galaxy Digital has lowered its estimate of the CLARITY Act’s chances of passing in 2026 to just 10%. In May, it had estimated the chance of passage at 75%. Multiple political issues remain unresolved, and the Senate only has 14 days in session to pass the bill after it reconvenes on Sept. 14. Unless an initial motion to proceed vote occurs immediately upon lawmakers’ return to Washington, there would only be enough time for the CLARITY Act to pass if it “dominates basically the entire working session,” wrote Galaxy head of research, Alex Thorn.
SEC and CFTC Plan to Step into the Breach if CLARITY Act Fails
If the bill doesn’t pass, the SEC and CFTC plan to step into the breach by issuing their own rules for crypto markets. The SEC scheduled an open meeting on Friday to unveil its “clear rules of the road” but then cancelled it due to an “unforeseen scheduling issue.” The White House was reportedly unhappy that the SEC going rogue on crypto rules could anger Democrats and scuttle the delicate negotiations underway to pass CLARITY.
Crypto Companies Seek Access to Frontier AI Cybersecurity Capabilities
Cryptocurrency companies, including Anchorage Digital, BitGo, Bitwise, Blockstream, Ledger, and Trezor, have urged frontier artificial intelligence (AI) labs to give Bitcoin developers early access to their most capable models. An open letter, published by the Bitcoin Policy Institute, said Bitcoin Core devs and other crypto developers are being blocked by guardrails on publicly available frontier systems, leaving them to rely on less capable open-weight models. “Without dedicated access programs, defenders may lack the tools needed to keep pace with evolving threats to the infrastructure they maintain.” The threat from AI-identified exploits has become a key focus after $116 million was stolen from Coldcard hardware wallets. The Bitcoin Red Team subsequently used AI to identify thousands of potential cybersecurity issues using open-source Chinese models. New threats to hardware wallet owners have continued to emerge over the past few days, with the personal details of more than 50,000 users leaked in two separate incidents.
