Crypto Market Rise As CLARITY Act, Fed Rate Cuts in Focus
Some of the top leaders from the crypto industry, including Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, testified in Congress on the comprehensive crypto market structure legislation aka CLARITY Act. In his message on the X platform, Garlinghouse wrote:
“In a refreshing change from the rhetoric of the Gensler years, every Senator affirmed that crypto technology is here to stay and deserves rules of the road. The legislative process is rarely simple, but we’re past the starting line, and that in and of itself is a MAJOR step that gives me hope that the US can make up for lost ground”.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong also shared optimism noting: “America is ready for crypto. The House should pass the CLARITY Act next week, quickly followed by the Senate, so we can get it into law with POTUS’s signature”. US has announced July 14-July 19th as crypto week with major bills scheduled for hearing.
After signing the ‘Bit Beautiful Bill’ last week, US President Trump is now pushing for a 300 basis point fed rate cut, an unprecedented measure and probably the largest in US history. If implemented, it would be three times the size of the previous record: the 100 basis point emergency cut announced on March 15, 2020, at the onset of the COVID-19 crisis.
