Two catalysts, you say? The first, a legislative farce known as the CLARITY Act, birthed from the minds of Senators Tillis and Alsobrooks. A compromise, they call it-prohibiting passive yield on stablecoins, yet allowing activity-based rewards. Banks, the wary guardians of tradition, secure their perch, while crypto firms, the nouveau riche, retain their tricks. Senate Chairman Tim Scott declares it “in the red zone,” yet Polymarket, ever the skeptic, gives it a mere 62-64% chance of becoming law by 2026. Ah, the theater of politics!
