Down to 76,562 USDT now on May 19th 2026
Last week the buzz was all about the CLARITY ACT,
"The US Senate Banking Committee passed the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act by a 15-9 vote, advancing a comprehensive crypto-regulation bill to the Senate floor. The updated 309-page draft includes over 100 amendments, notably a key compromise on stablecoin yield and revisions concerning decentralized finance (DeFi) oversight.'*Google
While the Text is available, it requires significant study, even without the amendments that they were voting for/against last week. It still needs to be passed by the Senate, and then signed by the President. What will this mean for Bitcoin, and other chains?
BTC Market Cap Dominance is 58.29%, down from 58.37% 5 days ago.
