Within this category, out of 233 settled trades, the win rate is 142/233 (61%), with 53 trades where the buy price was below $0.8 and the sell price was above $0.95. In the similar cost range ($0.451-$0.6), the median historical investment amount is $1.5k.

For this market to resolve as “yes,” the “Digital Asset Market Structure Clarity Act” (H.R.3633) needs to pass both houses of the U.S. Congress and be signed into law by the President within this year.

This act is the U.S. cryptocurrency “Market Structure Act,” which aims to define the regulatory boundaries for digital assets: which assets, transactions, and intermediaries fall under the SEC or CFTC jurisdiction, establish registration and compliance frameworks for crypto exchanges, brokers, and traders, and clarify the regulation of some secondary market digital asset trading under the “digital commodity” framework. In simple terms, it is not just a stablecoin or ETF act but a broad framework that the U.S. crypto industry has long desired to determine whether the SEC or CFTC has the final say.

Currently, the “Clarity Act” passed the House on July 17, 2025, and was then sent to the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. On May 14, the Senate Banking Committee advanced the bill by 15-9, with two Democratic senators, Ruben Gallego and Angela Alsobrooks, joining the Republicans in supporting it. This indicates that it has moved beyond being a House bill and is now in the final negotiation stage in the Senate.

The main opposition at present comes from Democratic regulatory hawks like Elizabeth Warren and Jack Reed, who argue against the bill on several fronts: that it may excessively cater to the crypto industry, weaken the SEC’s investor protection powers, leave loopholes for DeFi and secondary market transactions, lack sufficient anti-money laundering and enforcement tools, and fail to adequately address ethical conflicts of government officials and the Trump family related to crypto interests.

Furthermore, full Senate advancement typically requires 60 votes, meaning that even with full Republican support, several Democratic senators need to cooperate. Democratic senators who have supported the committee version emphasize that the final vote will depend on whether subsequent ethical and enforcement terms are improved. If the Senate bill undergoes significant changes, it will need to return to the House for reapproval or reconciliation; coupled with the midterm election year of 2026, a limited legislative calendar, and controversies over government officials holding crypto assets, these factors could stall the bill in the “passed committee but not enacted” stage.
