US crypto rulebook bill 'Clarity Act' stalls, new plan emerges

The Clarity Act was a proposed U.S. law meant to spell out clear rules for crypto companies — basically deciding which government agency oversees what. It looks like that specific bill isn't moving forward as planned, and lawmakers are now working on a different approach to get similar rules in place.

Clear rules affect which crypto projects can legally operate in the U.S. and how confident businesses feel building here, but this is normal legislative back-and-forth, not a sign anything is broken with crypto itself.

No action needed. This is Washington policy-making moving at its usual slow pace — your holdings aren't affected by which bill number lawmakers use.
