Title: Scammers’ must-read! The U.S. “CLARITY Act” is coming—will your crypto surge or go to zero? (A one-article guide to the ultimate life-or-death test)


Everyone, today we won’t talk about price levels—we’ll talk about a “national-level” U.S. event that can directly decide whether your altcoin will live or die. At present, the U.S. Congress is strongly pushing a milestone crypto regulatory bill—the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act).
Simply put, this is the U.S. government’s way of setting the ultimate “game rules” for the crypto world. What exactly is this bill? What impact will it have on us retail investors? Today we’ll strip it all down with plain language.
🏛️ I. What on earth is the CLARITY Act? (Three core moves) Over the past decade, U.S. regulation at the foundational level has turned into a chaotic mess. The SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) seems to take issue with everyone, issuing enforcement actions everywhere, claiming that besides Bitcoin, everything else is “illegal securities,” leaving the entire internet on edge. This bill is here to “cut through the mess” quickly:
1️⃣ Clearly split jurisdictions: Tokens are divided into two categories. “Securities” (controlled by centralized teams, with fundraising and profit-sharing characteristics) fall under the SEC; “commodities” (decentralized networks, open-source tokens) fall under the more lenient-style CFTC.
2️⃣ Create the first “decentralization maturity test”: If no individual or single entity can unilaterally control a blockchain system, its token can be transitioned from “securities” to “digital commodities” for regulation—basically giving altcoins a compliant path to convert.
3️⃣ Ban officials from “shilling”: The bill clearly prohibits any sitting president, federal officials, and their spouses from issuing or initiating any crypto commercial project during their terms (directly cutting off the “token-issuing benefit chain” for certain political families).
⚠️ II. What destructive impact will it have on the crypto market (especially altcoins)? Once the bill is enacted, the entire crypto market will face an extreme “survival of the fittest” style of polarization. It will mercilessly split altcoins into two halves:
🟢 Ultimate beneficiary group (legitimate commodity coins): Coins like BTC, ETH, SOL, NEAR, UNI, LPT—already close to “fully liquid” (or with extremely thorough shakeouts), with no centralized entity dominating control, and with strong expectations for a U.S. spot ETF. They will be unconditionally determined by law to be “digital commodities,” fully removing the risk of being delisted, and will welcome Wall Street’s crazy pull from trillions of dollars in compliant capital.
🔴 Deadly high-risk group (VC securities minefield): This is the bottomless pit that retail investors need to avoid at all costs! Many coins in the market have very low circulating supply (for example, only 10%~20% circulating), and the remaining tokens are tightly held by early-stage venture capital firms (VC) and the team, with “high-inflation pseudo-concept coins” (such as certain new chains and fake AI tokens) that unlock and dump on a monthly basis. Their pass rate in strict decentralization tests is near zero, so they will be directly ruled as “illegal securities.” In the future, they will face hefty fines, rigorous audits, and even coordinated delisting from major exchanges in the U.S. market.
🔮 III. How likely is it to pass within 2026? Currently, in prediction markets (like Polymarket), real-time win rates are fluctuating in a wide band between 38% and 50%. Why might it pass? The White House and top leaders across both parties have consensus on establishing crypto dominance, and they have already passed key committee votes. Why might it get stuck? Right now, both parties are fighting fiercely over “moral restriction provisions for the president’s family,” and the U.S. traditional banking establishment (ABA) is pouring money into political obstruction out of fear that compliant stablecoins will drain deposits from traditional banks. The “ultimate deadline” during the congressional summer recess is August 10. If the Senate can rush a vote before the recess, the compliant euphoria later in the bull market will be triggered earlier; if it drags into after September, the bill will most likely fail within the year, and the market will continue to endure the one-sided shadow of SEC enforcement.
🛡️ Retail investors’ only survival strategy—everyone, stop falling in love with trash VC coins! Before this policy storm eye arrives in early August, the following rebalancing discipline is recommended:
Cut off the “soft targets”: For any coin with extremely low circulation, huge future unlocks, and frequent switching of tracks, when there’s a rebound, decisively reduce position or fully exit.
Embrace “hard currency”: Gradually move most of your funds toward “high-circulation/fully-liquid” hard assets with real business consumption or clear, explicit compliance.
Survive, and you can catch the biggest next wave of benefits! Of what you currently hold, do you have more fully-liquid old-guard commodity coins, or more new VC high-inflation coins? Welcome to leave your coin types in the comments—we’ll defuse risks together!
