CFTC Chairman Michael Selig has indicated that the Clarity Act is nearing approval, highlighting the need for a federal standard for crypto assets. This development comes amid significant regulatory changes in Europe, where the MiCA regulation has forced many crypto firms, including Binance, to either shut down or relocate due to non-compliance. The Clarity Act, which aims to assign CFTC jurisdiction over digital commodities, is still pending in the U.S. Senate after passing the House in 2025. Market participants appear to interpret Selig’s comments as supportive of the Clarity Act’s eventual passage, with current pricing reflecting a 44.5% likelihood of the Act being signed into law by the end of 2026.
