The cryptocurrency sector faces a critical period as uncertainty surrounds the prospects of the Clarification Act, a highly anticipated federal legislative proposal to regulate the industry. Analysis from leading asset management institutions indicates that without definitive legislative support, the crypto industry is within a crucial three-year window to demonstrate its economic contribution. This challenge is not merely about technical regulation but concerns the long-term survival and legitimacy of the sector in the eyes of policymakers. If the cryptocurrency industry fails to demonstrate its significant value to economic growth during this period, the threat of unsupportive policies could follow, creating serious barriers to innovation and market transparency that have long been the aspirations of the global crypto community.
