A landmark cryptocurrency regulatory bill faces a potential three-year legislative delay, with final implementation not expected until 2029, as political strategy surrounding the 2026 midterm elections takes precedence. According to analysis from investment bank TD Cowen, the CLARITY Act—designed to establish clear rules for digital assets—is now caught in a partisan stalemate, with Democratic senators reportedly considering procedural tactics to stall progress until after the next election cycle. The delay pushes the prospect of comprehensive U.S. crypto regulation into the next presidential administration.
