TechFlow to a report by Cointelegraph on January 3rd, John D'Agostino, Head of Institutional Business Strategy at Coinbase, stated in an interview with CNBC: "I completely understand why the Clarity Act will take longer. The Clarity Act is essentially a bill that lays the foundation for the long-term development of the crypto industry and indeed any real asset class, so it's reasonable that the legislative process takes time. Its complexity is significantly higher than the stablecoin legislation, the GENIUS Act, and market structure legislation is inherently more complex."
He also mentioned that a large number of crypto and fintech talents are flowing out of the United States and overseas, a trend that may further compel lawmakers to push for the passage of the CLARITY Act around 2026.
According to reports, David Sacks, the White House's AI and Crypto Affairs Director, stated on December 19th: "We are closer than ever to passing this landmark crypto market structure legislation, which President Trump has been calling for. We look forward to finalizing the work in January."
