[Regulatory measures partially offset the impact of the stalled 《Clarity Act》, but political and legal risks remain, JPMorgan says]

JPMorgan analyst Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou said in a report that recent measures taken by U.S. regulators have, to some extent, offset the negative impact of the Senate’s failure to advance the 《Clarity Act》, but political and legal risks remain.SEC、CFTC and OCC and other agency-led measures may encourage institutional participation in the crypto ecosystem in the short term, but only legislation can make the regulatory framework more durable. Until comprehensive market structure legislation is passed, political and legal risk premia will remain elevated; if Democrats win the White House, existing measures could be overturned as soon as within 2 years. Panigirtzoglou believes that the 《Clarity Act》 is unlikely to pass this year and may be delayed until 2027. Crypto market sentiment currently remains relatively optimistic, with the market focused on what measures SEC、CFTC and OCC will take to facilitate institutional entry into the cryptocurrency sector.
