According to ChainCatcher, as reported by CoinDesk, Benchmark analyst Mark Palmer pointed out that the passage of the U.S. CLARITY Act will establish a clear regulatory framework for the digital asset market, distinguishing whether cryptocurrencies are classified as commodities or securities. The act is expected to resolve the longstanding legal uncertainties faced by traditional financial institutions and accelerate the entry of institutional investors such as asset management companies and hedge funds. The report indicates that compliant platforms like Galaxy Digital and a certain exchange will hold advantageous positions in this wave of institutionalization. Although the SEC currently maintains a constructive stance, the lack of written regulations still exposes the industry to the risk of policy reversals.
